Predict a future technology

So what does the future hold...I'll go first
Medi-kit
Basic emergency medical procedures can be preformed by anyone using this kit, holographic display glasses, with basic meds and tools etc, just like the emergency defibrillators Ring 999, they will give you a code to open the kit, or can be bought privately too.
It will be something like google glasses, put them on and you will see a superimposed holographic image onto the patient with instructions through a ear piece which will talk you through the procedure.

Well crackpot or not?

It will however cause heart attacks. Slight side effect, but at least you won't get fat.

You'd have just eliminated the major physical side effect of Irelands greatest social lubricant.

This would be greater than a cure for cancer and aids combined

Broadband. That's actually available. Ok, that's probably a bit far-fetched, but I live to dream.

TV and movies promised us we'd be flying around in hover cars by now, and yet I'm still waiting. I demand my hover car!

Au contraire Rodders, t'would be the ruination of the nation. I read it in an Asterix The Gaul book that a potion that cured hangovers led to the downfall of the Roman Empire because everybody was drunk all the time.

Teleportation.

Imagine never again having to rely on public transport, no more dependency on fossil and biofuels, no stress filled traffic jams, imagine you could go to the bar, set your teleportation device to zap you back home to your bed at closing time. It'd do away with the need for e-mail and social networking when you could deliver the message in person!

And before some smartarse pips up that it'd be popular for burglars, I imagine in implementing the technology that they'd have built in security that you couldn't just beam into your neighbours house, borrow a cup of sugar, and beam out again...

I have a funny feeling that some super car will be invented.. Something like a de Lorean that can time travel..

Yes but these vibrating toothcleanermacgooglelators still involve moving the feckin' thing around the mouth. Had one and hated it as well. Something you can stick in your gob (oooh patron etc etc) that does the job in second. Like one of them snazzy Dyson hand dryers that dry your hands with one insert. Ye dig?

We have that already, it's called booze.

A force field that covers your body so if you fall it 100% protects you from injury, or a mouthpiece that works like a fishes gills so you can breath underwater without having the need of oxygen tanks.

I reckon there will be holographic cinema/TVs sit there and the technology fills the room somehow.

As much of a gimmick as 3D is the jump in quality between say watching Gravity and watching Jaws 3D thirty odd years ago is staggering. So 50 years from now who knows.

All electronics will harvest energy from around them with the main supplementing if more power is needed. Also tables that let you put your TV on them and electricity will flow through the base (this kind of exists already but is being focused for recharging batteries). No more wires.

Solar powered 3D printed homes with holographic walls, floors, and ceilings for the totally immersive experience! Wake up in the morning and don't like the colour of your walls? Change them, change your whole surroundings to the virtual tour of the Grand Canyon! Imagine taking a shower surrounded by scenery from Niagra Falls, then kicking back James and the Giant Peach style to explore the fascinating world of insects from the comfort of your living room...

Only to be interrupted by your boss projecting into your home and telling you get back to work

Needs more thought...

Sooner or later, we'll run out of space to inter our dead.

After that, we'll end up doing what we will also end up doing with the rest of our, forgive the term, remains. Rubbish, random crap, unusable byproducts.

Into the sun will it all go. The tech to do that cost-effectively. That's going to be worth a bloody fortune.

Not my idea, various sci-fi books/shows/etc have referenced it at times.
