I'd love to see an operating fusion reactor in my lifetime. Real sci-fi technology

Currently reading news and communicating with people around the world from the privacy of my toilet using my hand terminal. It can also understand what I am saying and excecute my spoken commands (to some extent at least). That's some Sci fi shit right there. Pun intended

It's seriously insane growing up on star trek and then seeing it come to life.

Still holding out for flying cars.

And warp drive!

I don't want flying cars because I don't want 95% of the people around me to be driving regular cars. Can't even use a turn signal and now they have carte blanche to drive over houses and shit?

The answer is mass transit. Mag-rail, not personal aviation.
