I'd like to see holographic clothing in a variety of kids and adult sizes. I'd also like to see holographic TV sets and computers as well.

A device that programs the type of dreams you'll have when you go to sleep at night, so you'll always have pleasant dreams and no nightmares. You'd be able to choose from a selection of dreams depending on your personal tastes. Let's see, do I want to dream about being a fairy or a mermaid? Traveling to a planet made entirely of pizza, or taking a dip in a swimming pool full of hot chocolate and marshmallows? The choice would be mine! :D

a device which cancels the flavor of olives wherever they are encountered unexpectedly, in food items in restaurants and such.

I think self-driving cars are the closest we are now to flying cars.

A cheap pill that you take in the morning that keeps the food that you eat all day from being converted into fat that makes your poop look like pea pods.

A noise converter that takes verbal and vocal stimming and converts it into music. Maybe something that sounds like Jethro Tull.

I thought there was something called a "vocoder" that did this.

Fully autonomous androids.

I am not talking about the "real" androids you can see on Youtube.
I am talking about lifelike and conscious units that would be able to pass the Turing test within the blink of an eye.

Heatings pads in the form of fingerless gloves, for joint pain when you still have work to do. Not very futuristic, but useful.
