    I would like to pick teleportation and maybe time machine, but I don't think it would matter because these things won't ever be on the market as it would make trafficing drugs and whatnot way easier, so it would only be used by /kept secret by whichever country invents it or shared between countries' secret organizations

    Teleportation would be great, but if everyone could do it and it was free, the whole worlds economy would probably collapse.

    This may spark an argument but I want to talk a little more about the Eternal Youth Potion or anything that results in immortality (or even simply cures most diseases).

    The population as it stands is already overbearing on the planet. Eternal Youth potions or even anything that abolishes disease would be our downfall. Sure we can put in laws that restrict how many children people can have, but it's a global epidemic and it will be impossible to control this for everyone. China did it for a while and for good reason, but it's over now and you could see how many extra deaths they had from families killing their daughters to try for boy.

    I don't wish for pain, disease, or for anyone to die, but the fact is that it's a way of dwindling the ever growing population. Finding the cure for cancer would be amazing, finding the cure for everything would kill us.

    Eternal youth elixir.
    Sure the earth may become overpopulated for a few hundred years, but there are many other planets and moons in our solar system, and I have no doubt that we will in time populate them. Given enough time the other technology on the list would become available, and things like FTL travel would open up the rest of the universe and the population problem would become void.

    Time travel would be pretty awesome. I've heard a lot of stories about awesome things some of my older relatives (who died before I was born) did back in their younger days and always thought it'd be cool to meet some of them.

    It's not a problem if cold fusion existing, its a problem of making it work on a large scale to power our cities in a cost effective manner.

    I picked teleportation. Would be nice to just teleport somewhere instead of taking the long trip. I wanted to pick dream recording too, I've always wanted to actually watch what I was dreaming because I forget most of it. I would also like hover vehicles and space travel.

    Eh, I voted teleportation, for the simple cool factor, and not having to have a fucking pain in the ass car to go eveywhere would be really awesome. If it ever happens to be possible, though, I don't expect anything biological to actually be able to teleport and end up not dead at the other end. However, I would definitely not get tired of being able to teleport anywhere in the world whenever I wanted if this actually became possible. I guess a time machine would be even more awesome but to apply the real world a bit, I think it's been pretty much proven that you can only travel into the future (by going really, really fast), never back, which seems like a bad idea when you have no idea what lies ahead.

    Youth elixir sounds great and all in theory, and I don't mean to imply that I'm eager to be dead any time soon, but, honestly, I'm not so sure I would want to be immortal. I mean, I guess I could still get run over by a bus and die that way, and I really wouldn't mind aging a lot slower, but....I don't know.
