That would NOT be the positive thing you imagine it to be.
What Sci-fi aspect from TV or movies would you like to see happen in real life?

Then you have decide which doctor would treat you
Phlox- Apply this eel for 2 days on your back
Crusher- motherly
The doctor- take this. End Program

Definitely not. Even a movie with the depth of a Jim Carey picture eventually figured out that some private thoughts and white lies are important. Brutally Honest is ok in some situations, but when used constantly, is just Brutal.
I'd like to have my own indestructible time machine. It would have to be indestructible because I'd want to visit the Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods to study dinosaurs and pterosaurs. And then I'd jump to 1880's London to find out the identity of Jack the Ripper. Then to Fall River, MA, and then to Ancient Egypt, on and on. I'd never run out of historical things to explore. Not very interested in seeing the future, though.
It's better than the alternative-- killer robots with Southern accents! *shudder*

But then Phlox would decide that evolution wants you to die or would make a sentient clone of you to harvest his organs or something. Pass!
This is actually from a book but I'd love it if we could all naturally evolve the ability to teleport like in Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination.
Time travel I would mostly use to save all of the wiped Doctor Who episodes. And maybe score a date with Audrey Hepburn, but we'll see.
I wish their were aliens out their that we interact with on a daily basis and we can understand them and vice versa like Trek,Babylon 5 etc. The weird aliens that are beyond our comprehension are great but it's hard to form a realtionship with something that is so beyond the human experience you can barely describe them or understand their nature. Not just aliens worlds we visit but ones in which we could even live on or take vacations to. I say bring on the aliens with the different looking foreheads but still look mostly human!
Plus a Deep Space 9 or Babylon 5 style Space station.

A United Earth state with no more superpowers or geopolitical claptrap and all nation states have a decent standard of living and human rights for all its citizens.
Well, in many ways, the medical field is already heavily inspired by Trek. I haven't personally seen it myself, but there was news a few years ago of com-badge-like communicators for nurses and medical staff, but I'm not sure if anything ever came of it. There's also been the development for a medical tricorder-like device for combat medics to use while out in the field. I also think that the MRI and CAT Scans are very much inspired by Trek. There have also been advancements in tissue regeneration.
Hyposprays instead of injection needles would be great. I hate needles and canulas!
The NHS do use communicator broaches at some Trusts. The ones we implemented were called Vocero, and were voice operated. You just touched the front and spoke the name of who you wanted. You could even say ‘where is so and so’ and it could track you to the nearest WiFi point. That was about 8 years ago.
Ahh, interesting! Thanks for the update. I knew it must have been out there, but couldn't confirm it. So, 8 years ago? I'd thought it was more recent than that!
On other Trek related ideas, I think the recent needleless delivery system for those with diabetes is very Trek-like.
On another related subject, my brother studied computer sciences at university, and one of the projects he and his team worked on was a way to more efficiently integrate GPS into emergency services such as ambulances.
Just thought of something. What about the Shrink Ray from "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" especially since you can also make things even larger if you want. The ole not breathing because of the size of air molecules seems to have also somehow also been solved by the device so it.s a win-win unless of course someone accidently steps on you or some animal or bug comes along and eats you.

Yeah Star Trek style - Vulcans beam down and secretly mind meld humans into common sense lolSo the 1978 "Invasion of Body Snatchers" then.

Not sure if this counts as a sci element, but I was always intrigued by the world as we saw it in Castle in the Sky. A sort of post technological world, where levitation and super computers are relics of a forgotten past, and society exists in a sort of quasi Georgian era of reindustrialisation.
