What one tech from a sci-fi universe would you want?

[Darth Garden Gnome]

Any sci-fi universe, but what one tech would you want, in your home, whenever you needed it? And no god-like stuff either (the Culture, and what not), just stuff like droids, or replicators, or what have you. And lets just say this thing you get is free with the service it provides. Theres probably a lot of cool stuff out there, but personaly, I'd want HoloNet acsess! Instant, real-time communication over the world, and instant lag-free acsess to the internet, no more long ditance charges for me! No more needing to walk from the phone to the computer either. Its all in this little pad, I just point and click....and WHOOSH!

A true testement to my laziness eh?

[Mr Bean]

Hmm I'd go with a Culture World-Ship Complete with Culture AI, completly Loyal to me

A. Take over Earth

B. Start Upgrading Earth

[Master of Ossus]

Holodeck. I'd never leave it.

[septesix]

Starbreaker

[Darth Garden Gnome]

Bah! You people and your holodecks! Soon we'll all be too busy in our holodecks to notice the earth is uniting ot make a communist-wuss-crap-no money-society! I woe for you holodeck users, for how the world will change when your off doing stuff in your little holographic world! PATOOIE!

[Master of Ossus]

Who cares about the world, when you have a holodeck?

[SirNitram]

World Devastator.

[Cpt_Frank]

Hmm, lets see.
A lightsaber would be cool. But probably I'd chop my arm off with this thing.
Well, guess it's a head-to-head between a ground-based heavy turbolaser station or a pet Hydralisk.

[Master of Ossus]

With a holodeck, all that can be yours and more. Plus, the lightsaber wouldn't actually be able to cut you because you have safeties.

[Cpt_Frank]

Hmm, the Holodeck isn't real. It's just an illusion.
On second thought, I'd like to have a modified transporter unit with a special computer which enables me to reproduce/clone everything and everyone.
Just put something/-one on the pad, and on the other pad, an identical copy is produced.

[Darth Wong]

From the wording of the original question, I thought he was referring to something you could put in your house, not something which would require massive renovations and a fusion reactor, or dwarf your entire house, or dwarf your entire city.

That would mean holodecks, worldships, ground-based heavy turbolasers, etc. are all out of the question. Lightsabres, portable replicators, and droids would be in.

Therefore, I would have to say that a high-end human-replica droid would be my first choice. One such as Guri, which is combat-capable so it can serve as a family bodyguard, and which can also take care of annoying chores like mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, sweeping the floors, picking up the dog's poop from the backyard, etc. Of course, it would have to be plain-looking, otherwise my wife would get jealous

[Master of Ossus]

Hmmm.... In that case, I would get a secretarial droid to dictate everything that I say. That way, I wouldn't even have to type anything when I found something that DarkStar said to be stupid. That way, I would just have to tell the droid to type it for me.

[Cpt_Frank]

IIRC in one SW novel they mentioned some kind of mind-control-gun which make people your mindless slaves one they're struck with the beam. That'd be my favorite choice apart from a pet Hydralisk.

[Wicked Pilot]

To all those people wanting holodecks, ARE YOU CRAZY!!! Do you know how many people holodecks have maimed, killed, or brought close to death?

As to what I'd want, two words: Light Saber. It can do anything. It slices, it dices, and it makes homemade frenchfries in three differrent ways. Plus, it's handy at other odd tasks like trimming shrubs and keeping JWs off my doorstep.

[Master of Ossus]

IIRC in one SW novel they mentioned some kind of mind-control-gun which make people your mindless slaves one they're struck with the beam. That'd be my favorite choice apart from a pet Hydralisk.

That's true. It was the "Gun of Command." It was a gift to Princess Leia from the Hapes Consortium (I don't remember which world, and I don't want to look it up). It was from The Courtship of Princess Leia. Good choice.

that or as Mike wong mentioned Guri, a excallent all-purpose robot, who can be hot too.

[Cpt_Frank]

Hmm. Those robots are almost like real living beings. And they are like slaves.
But with the Gun of Command, you can make everyone your slave!

[SirNitram]

With reconsidering the limitations, I go with an R2 unit.

1) Witty Conversasions(Although I can't understand them).
2) Loyal Bodyguard(Zapping JW's and burglars in the arse).
3) Master Hacker(Not that I'd ever transfer Bill Gates' fortune into my private bank account or anything....).

[Sea Skimmer]

The Heart of Gold. Not the whole 150-meter ship, just the small box that holds the infinite probability drive.

That would allow my house to do anything, as good as a holodeck but without the whole sudden death thing..

[Patrick Degan]

Just like the one in the Star Trek episode "Mirror Mirror". I've always liked the Tantalus Field. Just tune in on your target and ZAP.

I suppose, though, that people would start noticing how my enemies had a habit of "disappearing"...

[Mr Bean]

Hmm IG-88 would be a nice method of Destruction
And my third choice


IG-88 here is a List of 5000 Idiots I want elimanted, There are Contained in a Place called *Washington DC, You can find 471 of your Targets in One Bulding if you hurry



But the one small piece of Tecnology that would further my World Domination Plans by an INSANE amount is.....
I'm suprized no one has thought of it yet....

A NERUOLISER!
Thats right Mister Flashy Light Memeory Eraser itself from Men in Black
Think of the possibiltys of being able to re-write peoples memories

[His Divine Shadow]

I'd take those drugs Jason Ironheart used in Babylon 5.

[Raxmei]

A dumbwaiter from Terry Pratchett's Strata. A good one can make anything from lobster thermidor to sawdust. It's like a replicator, but without the single-bit errors. Plus, you can use it as a garbage disposal. It really cuts down your grocery bill when you can convert lawn trimmings into steak.

[RedImperator]

A replicator. I'd never have to call half a dozen unsavory characters looking for weed ever again. Of course, if it's TRUE Trek tech, all it will make is syntha-weed, which doesn't get you high, just burns your throat and stinks up the room. So give me one of those slave guns.

[Mr Bean]

Slave gun is not as good as a Nueroliser, Because the Gun is only Temporary and even then the *slave is kinda like a realy stoned person

And it does not last long enough for you to whip everyone's memory on the Planet

But set that thing to 1 Month, Get on World Televison on how you were recently sworn in as Ruler of the Planet and with luck all the Network Re-caps that are run you should control the planet in a few hours

Also put in parts on how everyone should turn to CNN on say next Wendsday then Zap the CNN people to let you on, Should be fine
