Fictional Technologies You Most Wish Existed

Part of what makes an imagined futuristic world believable is the presence and integration of impressive, speculative technology used in functional, everyday ways. Some series, such as Star Wars, became wildly popular in part because of the technological visions that made their worlds feel so rich and believable. There is much fictional technology that should be real throughout the world of science fiction and fantasy. Even realities filled with dystopian tech harbor the occasional hopeful scientific innovation. 

Part of the fun of these devices is that they are so far removed from our reality. Hoverboards and memory scanners would look a lot less impressive onscreen if we already used them in our everyday lives. While scientific progress gradually marches on, producers of real world technology can't keep up with the wild imaginations of Hollywood visionaries. However, tech that doesn't exist can even be inspiring for real world inventors and scientists. While lots of technology only exists in science fiction at the moment, who knows what the future could hold? In a few decades, these devices might be very real.
