science fiction gadgetMy dad got me into science fiction gadgets way back when my brother and I were little kids and he would put on vintage episodes of Twilight Zone. From then on I could not wait to unwrap his presents on any holiday because there was always some form of a wind up robot, binoculars, hearing devices, etc. Much of what he used to read about as a kid in science magazines can now be purchased online. I wonder if this is what will happen when I get older.

Decades from now, I really hope to see that Jetsons science fiction gadget that creates food out of thin air. A person selects what they want on a microwave looking device and poof there it is steaming hot. The science fiction behind it is the machine can meld any formula of matter together to create any type of food. This science fiction gadget would end world hunger, make grocery stores a thing of the past and be the real definition of an instant meal. My stomach is rumbling just thinking about it.
