Teleportation does kind of exist. A quantum superposition means a qubit can be in two states at the same time. Kind of depends how you interpret quantum theory but that’s my understanding.
Quantum computers don’t exist as usable items, yet. Still at the R&D stage. Hold on to your pants when/if that happens…

the ones with it in a holder, stuck right in their line of sight on the windscreen, who poke at it at every available opportunity. Just cos it’s in a mount doesn’t make it ok you ****.

Technically it is.  It's utterly stupid of course, but it's legal.

It must be possible to have a signal that the car puts out to stop the phone working. Maybe only satnav /map apps enabled.

On mine it goes "voice only" and locks out whilst driving.

A simple tablet, or a 7 day course that will realign the brain chemistry and put the black dog to sleep for good.

And another for PTSD. Both timely ideas today as another anniversary of a sudden and unexpected passing comes to a close.

Fusion power that wasn’t “almost but not quite ready to solve all our energy needs in the next ten to twenty  years maybe, possibly not this way, but scientists are trying another method…” just make it frikkin work already!

A transmutation ray for radioactive things. Like the reverse microwave above except it sucks the instability out of various isotopes.

A universal translator for dogs and cats, if anything it will finally reveal what total £&¥€s cats are.

Synthetic blood . Is it really beyond mankind's ability to produce such a substance?

why don’t we have dishwashers that clean everything in minutes rather than hours

Why don't we have dishwashers that clean everything*?

* For clarity I mean "all the stuff you put in it" rather than literally everything, although the latter would be a convenient saving on housework effort.

We use a few commercial washers at our manufacturing site, they reach temps of around 80C, have a 90 second cycle and use caustic for washing stainless steel and plastic implements. The price point of home dishwashers doesn't include parts that can stand up to the abuse of the use of caustic traywash. We have a small hobart in one of area of the factory, a 30 foot long rotary mould washer and large washer that will fit a pallet in for washing cheese moulds and utensils. Everything comess out spotless but with the use of caustic liquids they do need specific training, wouldn't want to leave that to the general public!

Sounds like the plot hook for an episode of CSI! 😉

The solution to your dishwasher issue is a marvellous invention called the silicone spatula. Scrape the larger debris off your dishes into the bin before they go in the dishwasher.

A decent colour printer that doesn't take an age to start up and will also still print a black and white page even when it's complaining about having no cyan.

Closest thing to a hoverboard so far is a onewheel and I'm happy enough riding so I can wait a little while to be full MJF in Back to the Future.

A tick scanner, a bit like the wands that they use at airport security.

Even better if there was a message generated that pin points exact position and reads 'There’s the bastard'.

An 'undo' button for real life that undid whatever stupid thing you just did in the last 30 seconds.

We used to have a washer dryer, where once it finished its wash cycle, it just cracked on a dried it too.  Dirty washing in, Clean dry washing out.

Just need to add some form of folding and sorting element (that actually works).

Washing basket in one end, stacks of washing organised by person at the other.

with three daughters and a OH who is untidier than all of them put together, I would throw so much money at that.

Eldest is nearly old enough to be paid to do it, so thats good.

Self cleaning everything! House, clothes, car, bike etc. Cleaning stuff is just a massive and futile ball ache.

Nanobot clothing/body cleaning/hair styling. It's inconvenient having to bow to society's pressure of non-nudity and washing clothes, buying clothes, taking showers, getting haircuts, and removing the hair from my ears and nose. A full bodysuit of nanobots will constantly keep me covered in the latest fabulous hip fashions (approved by the sadly absent CFH). They will clean off the sweat and other crap. And carry out the necessary hair removal.

And an anti-acne ray gun. WTF do I have acne back in middle age? It's taking the ****ing piss!
