If you could invent a new piece of technology, what would it be?

It can be anything? To help benefit yourself, your organization or for society as a whole. You have all the money and resources that you need.

I had an idea years ago that I wish I would have followed up on. Someone else DID come up with pretty much the same idea and it was pretty successful. That gadget was called Google Glass.

An efficient matter-energy conversion system. Think replicators from star trek. I have no idea if human beings would behave responsibly with this technology, but it's worth a shot.

Limitless energy, faster than light travel, advanced space propulsion, Captain America's Shield, Adamantium.

Or a World Peace Generator.

Medical Nanites.

Microscopic robots that repaired damage to the body from the inside as it occurred.

An effective land/sea/space based ABM laser system integrated with space based detection systems. It would make a large scale missile-based nuclear exchange impossible.

A bullsh*t/lie detector. Think of how elections would go if every politician had to face those.

I would invent something that would warn me when soldiers are about to do something stupid. Sort of like the "precogs" in minority report.

A history view scope. Basically, a device to look back in time and see what really happened in the past.

Second would be what SSG Ryan R. and MSG Private RallyPoint Member have all ready described. A truth potion/bullshit-o meter, for all politicians and such. Think of the time saved with court cases and half truths. Then again the History Scope could look back into the past and do the same thing. :)

So we are trying to invent truth.

A pair of light weight glasses that at the push of a button turned thermal or nvg and worked as everyday sunglasses.
