Technology in movies and tv

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-17 23:40

What have you seen in a TV or Movie that you wish were a real technology?  It doesn't even have to be in a futuristic setting.  The wireless communication sunglasses from Mission Impossible 2, or the car's features in Die Another Day, for example.

I've always been a huge fan of what I call the "MovieOS".  It's absolutely amazing, and practically psychic!  You punch two GUI buttons and whatever you want to do, be it launch a nuclear missile or buy something from amazon, it's already *done*!  There's never any waiting, it's always perfectly responsive.  It's able to bust arbitrarily huge encryption (a la Swordfish) in record times.  The progress bars are *always* exactly representative of how it's doing, the rate of completion for a task is always constant.  It's never hackable, unless it's supposed to be.  It has awesome blue-on-black interfaces with fun 3dFX (like in Jurassic Park).  It *never* uses crappy old Tahoma for its default font, but always some "futuristic" font that I can just never, ever find.

On the downside, though, the Movie OS does seem to use a lot of modal dialogues.
