Something to avoid colonoscopies. And flying cars.

We were promised hoverboards (also a great name for an indie band).

A way to share resources instead of having us kill each other over them.

Or, healthy bacon.

death panels

Nice, cushy retirement homes that don't cost a fortune.

Leslie said...

I don't want to wait until I'm old for healthy bacon.

Hailey Snow said...

I was going to say comfy heels but since that doesn't save lives or promote world peace I kind of feel like an ass hole.

And it's called turkey bacon...

hoverboards and cures for major diseases.

...a cure for cancer.
...better airport security policies (really, you're gonna confiscate my 1 oz bottle of shampoo because it's not in a plastic bag?)
...eyeglasses for fundamentalist retards to see that everyone deserves love and to live without fear of ridicule, injustice or physical harm.
...seriously, a cure for cancer.
...a pasta pot with a steel mesh basket that extends all the way to the bottom of the pot so my spaghetti doesn't a) stick out the top of the pot when I drop it in, or b) fall through the holes in the strainer basket when I drain it.
...audit software that works and makes sense intuitively.
...a non-corrupt NBA referee.

Hoverboards exist. Here are some other things that were in Back to the Future that actually got made.

So that's one down.

I'm going to start simple. How about an airport security machine that you can keep your shoes on and walk through?

Traffic lights that detect traffic and holds a green light until someone comes the other way.

More cars that run on compressed air and that can go longer distances on that air. No gas. No electricity. Just air pressure.

Reese's Peanut Butter cups that won't make you fat.

iPad type menus in restaurants where you can see pictures of what the food looks like and can use a touch screen to order and customize your meal.

All the people who said cures for something are lame.

Unless they actually have the disease... then I was just kidding.

Or if someone they know is really sick.

Put me down for hoverboards or jet packs.

That picture of the old people is hilarious. They made their own batters box and put a home plate down. And they have a catcher? Umpire? Not sure what the function of the old man is. My grandfather would have done this.
