Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Human cloning, inasmuch as it can be used for farming extra parts for you.

Otherwise, Cold Fusion reactors.

1. Virtual sex simulators a la Demolition Man.
2. I'm still waiting on that Kelly LeBrock computer from Weird Science.
3. A transporter/teleporter.

Which reminds me of the only funny thing Dane Cook ever put into a joke (paraphrasing of course): In the future, everything will be instant but the DMV will take 5 seconds... and we'll still be both pissed off and late for work.

I'm going with Dyson Sphere, as it's the defining artifact of a Type II Kardashev civilization, as well as the first step towards Type III. All that other stuff, we should have by then.

I love me a good Dyson Sphere. Who wouldn't want the ground curving up to meet them? Sailors would never fear sailing over the edge of the world!
Plus, you get all your teeny tiny sun's energy - no one else can haz.

Even on a cloudy day, I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun...

Only one way for Eternal Life. And its not going to be from going to the mythical Organ Supermarket...

Intergalactic Space Travel is great if that can be realized.

Although intergalactic travel is more important for the species, as an individual -who probably won't travel to other planets any more than average people today travel intercontinentally- the transporter would have more impact on daily life.
