Personally, I wish they'd hurry up with matter transportation so I can go home to England a lot easier. :)
It would destroy you and create a copy in England.

No thanks, I'll walk.

If you can walk to England from the US then it would seem you've already made a huge break-through! :P
<wry chuckle> Perhaps I have. . . .

Something about lego shoes perhaps? ;)
Lets just say that's part of it. . . . ;)

Modulated, light based displays. No more screens, tubes, or reflections, just modulated light sent directly into your eyes. Works on the same concept as reflected light bouncing off normal objects, just more directly, what you see is just light being sent into your eye. What doesn't burn out your retnia allows for surpassing the current limitations on portible devices. No more keyboard, no more monitor, just a CPU, a few sensors, and a projector. And best of all, images would only be calibrated for the intended viewer. You could walk into a seemingly empty room, push a virtual button, and see a full holographic environment that is sent from several points in the room directly into your eyes. The sensors placed around the room track the position and orientation of your head, and adjust the direction and intensity of the light being aimed at you.

 

It doesn't exist yet... So maybe not the next, but probably the one right after the next. Just remember who came up with the idea.

Current popular rumor suggests that Obama may reverse the bans Bush enacted on Stem Cell research, so we could possibly see some major breakthroughs in the field of medicine within the next four years.

I think I may have had the winning guess, here... clinical trials set to begin on a new therapy for spinal cord injuries.

Okay, what did I win?
