Not something crazy like a time machine, or a teletransporter. Something someone could reasonably invent if they tried.

#1

A machine to record dreams

#2

Affordable Solar panels that are actually roof tiles so that the entire roof of a structure could be utilised and feed power directly to the house/building it is on and stores excess in batteries, first by house… then local community batteries… then further afield

A translator for animals, so when they bark or something it says a word not just a bark or meow. It would be nice to understand them sometimes-

1. A cure for AIDS other than bone marrow transplants. 2. Cures for various cancers (they differ in cause and prognosis and aren't the same thing that would take the same cure). 3. An alternative economic solution that doesn't involve creating oligarchs and mass poverty, nor market crashes. 4. An effective educational tool that gives people the ability to detect fake news/misinformation. 5. An electoral system that doesn't involve giving cushy jobs to really old men who happen to be good at telling lies. 6. A cure for ageing that targets cause rather than symptoms. 7. Warp drives. Thanks.

A tube where we get in (standing or lying) and it generates a complete health report on us. Any early onset of disease, tumors, other health complications, complete blood report including any vitamin deficiency and hormones, DNA report, fat and muscle report, brain activity/function incl. any risks of Alzheimer's, dementia, mental health issues which could be prevented. Scanning for any deformity like when we have backpain. Then we can be sent to specialised doctors according to the report to be treated further.

Oh something I can contribute to. Textured bottles for hygiene items. So your in the shower and trying to use your conditioner or shower gel but its slippery as hell and impossible to open. Especially when using at home hair dye, the conditioner tube is so hard to open.
A little texture to the bottles would be wonderful

A substance that you could add to water that would attract and congeal micro plastics into large forms that would make it easier to collect.

Something that would neutralize all the chemicals in the water ways. Waste water treatment plants are not able to remove all (most) pharmaceuticals.Univ. of Cincinnati tested fish near treatment plants and found blood pressure meds, estrogen, and antidepressants. it gets in there because of people using the toilet, but would help if you didn't flush pills

A reverse microwave: an appliance that would make food cold instantly. Although ok yeah a cure for cancer also good.

If I told you, then someone else would invent it. I want to reap the rewards of my ingenuity.

An anti-Kardashian filter (or celebrity of choice) do the don't ever show up on your device

#15

A program designed for writers that shows you the best synonyms, grammar/spelling mistakes, ect. Or when would be a better time to indent or rephrase things to make it sound cleaner and more cohesive. I know about grammarly and most basic doc programs have spell checks- but none of them are really good without having to pay 15 bucks a month.

As other replies have solved world hunger/peace/disease, let's enjoy the invention of the "be quiet and open up" button. Whenever someone is espousing a terrible concept such as "why don't the poor just stop eating if they're so hard up", "how dare people who haven't got a trust fund have babies", or "asylum seekers can't be that needy if they can afford a boat trip" you press the button and they not only can't speak, but their mind opens and dispenses with all the prejudices and they really listen with empathy. Ahhh we can but dream.

I always watch “Bicentennial Man” and wish for the day that the replacement organs that Andrew and Rupert invent would come sooner rather than later.
I also wish that technology that is developed to be used in vet practice could be more quickly accepted by human medicine (Looking at the work in orthopaedics by Dr Noel Fitzpatrick)

A machine for laundry where it will come out folded. No switching it to the dryer or folding it myself, just dump dirty clothes in take a pile of folded clothes out.
