Somebody Should Invent This Somebody just has to invent this stuff.

• Flying car.
• Cure for the hangover.
• Plug-in memory expansions so you can learn useful skills, equations, etc. without sitting through boring lectures and tests.
• Beer that makes you skinnier instead of fatter.
• Dog-cat hybrid. Like a cat, it doesn't need your attention constantly, but it pays attention when you want it to, like a dog. It's comes when you call it like a dog, but it's clean like a cat. Plus, it barks AND purrs.
• Teleporter. I'm sick of commuting.
• Eye contact computer displays

Flying car
The main annoyance with personal flying vehicles is that you need to go use airports or similar areas. If landing areas were as common as gas stations and they cost less than a house then this might start gaining acceptance.
Cure for the hangover
If this absolutely HAS to be injected, so be it. Worst case it should take 10 minutes to go into full effect. How have we made it this long - suffering through nausea - without a quick cure?
Plug-in memory expansions
Neo in the Matrix learned kung fu this way, and that used a huge and painful looking plug directly into the spinal cord. I'm sure we can do the same thing in a much less invasive manner.
Skinny Beer
Beer that either has 0 calories and no cancer-causing agents or even makes you lose weight? We can all dream, right?
Dog-cat hybrid
These genetic engineers need to be challenged, so I think this is an obvious benchmark of just how good they are.
Teleporter
This probably has the least feasibility of all of these inventions, but, it would probably be the most awesome. Even if it took a huge power source and it cost double what a plane ticket cost for each use, it would be the best way to get from New York to Japan and back for a business meeting.
Eye contact computer displays
Some basic work toward this has already actually happened. Glasses that project a laser display directly into the iris have been prototyped. Supposedly they can generate a nearly infinite resolution. The problem is you have to wear these clunky glasses to shoot the laser into your eye. Now, if that display was on a pair of contacts, most people would barely be able to tell the difference between you and a non-cyborg.

The idea I have is that it would work in conjunction with a nearby device, maybe a cell phone or PDA type of thing. It could probably have configurable opaqueness and how "far" away it appears to be. However, thinks about the possibilities! If your car has GPS and you forgot where you parked it, you can enable the "Find Car" program which would display the distance to your car and actually LIGHT UP arrows on the sidewalk telling you where to walk to get to your BLINKING and GLOWING car!

A military squadron, FBI, etc can all wear locators and when you walk into a crowded bar or a terrorist base all of your comrades will glow bright green so you don't totally kill them by accident.
