I like the headjack, teleporter, anti-gravity, replicator and powersource stuff above.
In order to get them quickly, I propose a device that makes stupidity painful.

then you could "accidently" telefrag people when they are in your way, or being bothersome.

Imagine, you would be able to understand what everyone is saying about you while riding the local bus/rail/donkey mass transit system.
Star Trek have those too. The 'Universal Translator'. i'm not sure if they're in their commbadges or imprinted into their brain, but basically they can understand any language. you hear what the other person said in something you understand.
notice how everybody in Trek can speak perfect english.

I guess the babelfish is similar to this too. I want an infinte improbability drive, but I'd like to do so without endagering any whales or potted plants. Without that guarantee, you can keep your stupid drive.

The whole world is waiting for this.
And we could use anti gravity for lot more than flying.
I'm just sorry Tesla wasn't able to finish his work.

Languages? What about the "Mozart Wunderkind module"?
Can you imagine how cool it would be if every single person on earth knew how to read and write music?
Man, Eminem/nsync/american idol crap would disappear overnight.
Or even better, a doctorate in 2 minutes?
Every man woman and child with an education?

Sorry, GM already beat you to it. It's called the LS1 and it's the standard motor in the Corvette. The LS6 is even better!
405 hp and almost 30 mpg!

Call me sad and geeky, but ever since I saw the first move as a young kid, I have really really wanted a Lightsaber!! A real one that could do cool stuff like cut through metal and all that...
Oh, and a Jet Pack..
And and... OK, I'll shut up now

Kids and light sabers don't mix.
