Oh how I wish technology could…. Pleasant suggestions only, please.

In order
1. AI that would always and automatically destroy any object that involves bombs, etc. harmlessly.
2. Instantaneous travel (eg: as on Star Trek
3 Any public speaker saying lies made dumb (just for that speech). Would also include inability to write such lies also
4. weather control
5. Star Trek type machine for Food/Drink.

LindaPat a bit like the Shazam App for music that I use all the time. When ever I am in a shop or listening to the radio or TV, anywhere where I hear a snatch of music I like I Shazam it to find out what the music is and by who. Then later I go to my Echo dot (Alexa )and ask her to play it. It would be great if you could just point your camera on your mobile at the actor on TV and an App could give you all the information instantly.

I am sure I have seen this facility on one of the channels like Disney + or Nat Geo. I will try to remember to look.

To be able to have a tracker on hearing aids. I wear privately bought hearing aids which aren't cheap and later lost one. After much searching I ended up paying for a replacement and the day I collected the new one, I found the 'lost' one.

This is an invention that is very much needed. (I wonder how many hours in one's life is spent looking for things we've misplaced?)

Hearing aids with trackers are available, if you're willing to pay the price.

Clean the gutters, clean the windows. A nice little circular thing that swoops over the roof with a mop!
Oh, an automatic weeder that discriminates between good plants and weeds.

A washing machine that also does the ironing and presents you with a neat folded pile of freshly laundered clothes.

Ah I would just like the Tardis appear for real and remove Trump and never bring him back . (Well if not perhaps the old Daleks with their Exterminate Exterminate could do the job!)

Oh well to something that might turn up . A jar opener that really works in less that 5 minutes!!

I inherited one similar to this from MIL, Madeleine and it does work. She probably bought it from Betterware or some similar company. The one in the picture is Brabantia.
There are other, more modern ones available.

A drone hovering a yard behind DH putting things back where he found them, shutting doors and drawers and remembering where he left the mole wrench, big screwdriver, elctrical screwdriver etc.

M0nica 😂
Yes please, one of those too!

What is so difficult about shutting drawers and doors? It seems strange because the contents of DH's cupboards and drawers are quite tidy and well-organised.
It took 40 years of marriage and various suggestions for him to be able to find his keys. Apparently the DC and I spent years putting them 'somewhere'. 🙄

A time/travel machine. So when you are on holiday and ready to go home, you could simply summon the machine and be transported home within seconds.

Oh yes, I've often thought that.
Pop over to visit family for the weekend then time travel back. It takes a weekend to reach them at the moment!

I fervently wish that technology was such that I could buy a one-off T Shirt or listen to Classic FM - without having to create yet another account or download another App.

OK, vented my frustration. And, yes - I know why they demand this. I also know that in spite of requesting no further notifications they will send them anyway, or sell on my data...

I would like to go back in time and watch all the great sitcoms again as if they were new.

Yep deffinately a travelling machine.
Travelling i use to find fun, it was part of the holiday experience.
Sadly not now , and theres so many places I would love to visit.
Beam me up Scottie 😆

I'd like an Indian Head Massage machine to relax me at bedtime, then hopefully I'd get some quality sleep!

I’d be very pleased to have one of those, too

i would love the machine they had on star trek that makes meals and drinks, it would be so nice just to say, fish and chips please.....can you guess i hate cooking for one.

I love this idea!

Stop nightmares or in my case, stop those dreams I have of my husband being part of our family he was taken from at a young age. Those are the worst kind of dreams IMHO.

Tech that could instantly feed me a razor sharp response when I’m left speechless by someone’s rudeness. It’s so frustrating when I think of it hours later!
In the meantime the gardening bot would be so useful.

I wish tech would evolve to eliminate the reqirement for almost everything to need one of those irritating QR Codes.

Criminals, I'm sure, think they're one of the very best means of harvesting all the data needed to access your bank account judging by the horror stories of very authentic looking - but fake - codes popping up all over the place.

I'm so with you on this!

She777 - easily solved - pay someone £25 every fortnight and they will not only re-make the bed but will also hoover all the carpets for you. 😂

I would like a device, (or an app on my phone) which I could point at the tv and it tell me instantly which programme an actor has been in before.
I know I can look them up on IMDb, but this often means having to stop the programme to look up the name of the character/actor.
How many times do we say " Oh what was he/she in?"! Often I can't settle down and enjoy the programme until I have found the answer.
Does anyone else do this?

@cc. Sounds just what I want! Never thought of using the laptop. Thanks @cc. You’re a star.
