When I mean invention- I mean like Television, Computer, and Airplane.......What is the next huge invention? My guess is flying cars. Or maybe something like a kite. Where you Strap yourself in- and you fly wherever you need to be (no cars, traffic, or stop lights,) What do you think?

The next big invention is for to cure cancer and virus. This is probably within reach in next 50 years, hopefully.

When you say Big Invention, I will consider that to mean something that fundamentally changes our way of life - This statement is true for Television, Computers, Airplanes, etc... But for flying car? It might be more convenient, but it wouldn't add anything so huge that I would consider it Big. After all flying cars do exist, just they are too expensive / not enough damand for them that they have become available to the public.
So I go back to my definition to think about what invention is on the horizon that would drastically change the way we live. I think it would be something in medicine (stem cell research, gene therapy, bionics...). I believe we are not that far away from a time when most diseases become curable.

I think people invent stuff because they need it badly. At this moment in time, I don't need anything. A computer was invented because somebody needed help with math. Airplane was invented because somebody wanted to fly. Television was invented because. I don't know why. Do you really need a flying car? Does it have to be a car? A kite might be fun. What do you need badly?

As Far as I'm Concerned, a fully self-sustaining fusion reactor, or a power/propulsion system that doesn't pollute. if it was a computer or type of computer, A computer that uses a processing system similar to a human neural network(or cerebral cortex) where several million processors act as one processor to complete the function required several hundred or even thousand times faster.

People thought flying cars were just around the corner for 50 years.
