additional ideas

Okay, so all of three seconds of intense thought yielded the following additions:

6. A nonhormonal (or minimally hormonal), reversible way of stopping menstruation. Yes, you can currently take birth control pills continuously to accomplish this, but your testosterone levels will be dampened, possibly permanently. I used to not care, but testosterone comes in handy for some things, like kicking the asses of arrogant male colleagues.

7. One second, no-hassle, permanent hair removal. I'm thinking a phone booth-kinda thing you step into that goes up to your chin; you flip a switch, and all of your body hair is zapped off in one elegant fell swoop.

8. One step perfect skin. Maybe a pill, maybe a cream, whatever. Spread it once a day and your skin is radiant, wrinkle- and blemish-free, till the end of time.

9. Robot gigolos. This is an old one, courtesy of Jude Law's delectable character in the movie A.I.

10. Robotic nannies. Sort of like that maid on "The Jetsons". Because seriously, I'm not sure I'd trust my kid with some 19-year old imported British girl. She might shake my baby to death. And I wouldn't blame her, because hell, I might shake the self-centered bastard to death, too. Hence the need for a robotic nanny.
