One of those transporter things like they have on Star Trek, so I can beam wherever I want to. And also flying cars.

Love that doesn't hurt.

Edit: That sounded way too bitter.

It would be nice with fingerprint-controled ATM's! :)

Maybe not the right thread to get all philosophical but love is never going to be pain free. A big part of love is free will. You could build a robot that said and did the most perfect and loving things at all times but you would know it isn't love because they aren't choosing to freely do it.

Oh! And I want one of those machines that will make me whatever dinner I want. All I have to do is press a button. That would be cool.

Yeah that's what I worry about too. :/ If it just comes down to radio waves though, well, we're being bombarded with them every second of every day anyway. So I guess them powering a few gadgets in the process can't hurt.

'fraid not. In fact, if I know my robots as well as I think I do, I believe that robot is the Compulsive Liar model (v. 1.2). It's programmed to tell you the exact opposite of truths. Never mind though. I'm sure it would insist that its opinions don't really matter...

Ooooh! I want that too. This made me immediately think of The Jetsons! I remember seeing them do that before. That would be so cool!
