Being able to photosynthesize. It wouldn't be that hard either, we already can, just not to make food.

I don't know how plausible this is, but a way for trans men and trans women to exchange sexual traits. There might be an answer elsewhere in that there are animals that can change sex in certain conditions so there is some biological evidence of possibility in a singular case. However it seems anti-poetic that we have genetic females who want to be genetic males and genetic males who want to be genetic females and the answer that we currently have as society is for them to go fuck themselves.
I guess for more realistic, then deep dive VR.
How about a UBI? Do social policies count as technologies? They do in 4X games, so I'm going with it.
I would categorize UBI as a policy/law, more than a tech thing.
Yeah. But on the other hand, isn't civics sort of a technology too? Policies were invented, no?
I guess you could say the UBI has already been invented, but I think practical implementation is important too. Same as if I'd said we should do fusion power or something.
A better battery would be nice.
Antigravity, Durasteel, shields, cold fusion, nanotech, time travel, warp, dimension sliding/hopping, mind mapping, cryo sleep, teleportation, Positronic brain, ...
This basically covers it, I'll add replicators and holodecks
Yes, how could I miss those!!
Very important...
Star Trek or Stargate replicators...
Indeed!
I'll leave it to the genie to decide
Fusion, nuclear propulsion, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, biomining, biological fuel cells
A fully open source tech manufacturing company such as chips, gpu, ram, motherboard, connectors, ssd .etc you get the idea.
I've been thinking along the same lines lately. A fully open source hardware and software architecture and implementation, to replace the closed "old world".
Hell yeah but it is all a pipe dream anyway cause no corpo or billionaire is gonna do it.
I imagine it would probably take someone obscenely rich choosing not to be rich anymore in order to make it happen. Which seems unlikely.
Unlikely is putting it mildly
