what things do you think SHOULD have been invented

Our apartment is way too hot now with the heat wave. A common summer problem (although this is the first time it has occurred in May). In winter it tend to easily get too cold.
I would like for there to be a technology that allowed us to store excessive heat and use it when it's too cold inside, and likewise store excessive cold and release it when it's hot like now.

^^^I would like the ability to control the weather. There would be no more hurricanes & tornadoes & we wouldn't have to worry about global warming

Expanding on AuntBlabby's inventions:

Extract solo blues artists from the old field recordings and place them in Carnegie Hall backed by a chamber orchestra or rock band. The purists would tear me a new one for that but it'd be interesting to hear the old blues pioneers in different contexts.

peanut butter that doesn't stick to the roof of your mouth and get stuck in the back of your throat.

Vertical take off and landing house. VTOL house.

Flying Battleship and Flying Submarine.

Noiseless vacuum cleaners.

Actually....

Soundless vacuum cleaner with built in Ipods and ear buds for you listen to music while you vacuum.

Reminds me of that seeming tragedy, that turned into a real laughable scandal, in the news a few years ago.

That yuppie couple that got all of that sympathy and news coverage a few years ago when they claimed that their little son had been accidently carried off into the sky by an oversized party balloon. The authorities launched a search of the surrounding California mountains. The kid was found alive and well in the parents' basement or something. And it turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by the parents.

In fact it was a lot like that current thing in the news about that actor who just recently staged that fake hate crime attack on himself.

The newsmedia showed pictures of the little boy standing next to the balloon in question. The balloon was much bigger than the kid, but..

But years before I had gone through a phase of having an aspie obsession with zeppelins, and dirigibles. Did a lot of reading about volume of gas vs payload in dirigible designs back in the day. So by the time of the story I could tell that the balloon in the newspaper picture was too small to have enough lift to carry the child standing next to it in the same picture. Bigger than the kid, but not enough bigger to have the kid as its payload. I coulda scooped everyone by writing a letter to the editor about it. Darn!

Intelligence is sexy, but the idea of intelligent sexbots seems kind of creepy.
