Agree with the Harry Potter cloak (love the flying car too, or even a broomstick!). And the transporter in Star Trek captured my imagination as a kid and never let go. I loved the Neuralizer in Men in Black. And the Lightsaber in Star Wars, well that speaks to the inner nerd in all of us.

Forget the Harry Potter cloak– I want the flying car! Although, I’m not sure that counts because it’s magic and not technological.
It’s not high tech but I want shades that go up and down with a remote like the movie ‘The Holiday’ and the AWESOME movie center Amanda has. It’s probably my most practical want!
