Deus Ex style nanotech. Produces food, enhances water, turns you into Superman... Heck they even have teleporters and universal fabricators. After that, FTL travel.
Edit: Forgot about the nanite detonator, the coolest WMD ever.

Bur: Those prolific wristband computers with the interactive holographic displays that are in a ridiculous amount of sci-fi works.A wrist computer is technically already possible. Just attach a couple of watchbands to a smart phone.
If you want holographic displays, however, that's still on the drawing board.
Accidental mistakes are forgivable, intentional ones are not.

@joeyjojo I like both, can't wait for the third one.

Seriously? Has no one said JETPACKS yet?
It's not quite a full-blown wrist computer or even a smartphone, but there is apparently a large market for turning the most recent iPod Nano (the one that's about an inch by an inch-large touchscreen) into a watch. All it's really able to do is play music, tell the time, pedometer stuff, and the radio, but even so, I think the concept's cool enough that I named the little bugger Pip-Boy 1000. >.>
The blind man walking off the cliff is not making a leap of faith.
I see the Awesomeness.
Jetpacks have been both mentioned, and a site to buy them has been linked.

Sentient A.I.s.
Because we'll probably need them.
Annnnd, Cyber brains. Because headaches are overrated and I want to access the internet on the fly.
It's been mentioned, but deserves another mentioning. MOBILE SUITS. I fail to see how a giant robot carrying a machine gun that fires tank shells is inferior to a measly small little tank.
My other signature is a Gundam.
Because all I have to do is aim for those spindly legs to immobilize the "mobile" suit.
On Topic: Advance nanotech eventually turning every cell in my body into nanites, over the course of several decades to insure continued conscience.

True AI, grapheme materials, e-readers (which yes I know exist and that's awesome), holo-screens, holo-keyboards, 3D printers, space elevators, exocortices, power armour, fully robotic and maneuverable prosthetic limbs, and other things that I can't even think of right now.

I want to see body modification technology catch up with the Furry Fandom's dreams. The Fox News reports alone will be hilarious.
Alternatively, I want to see VR reach the point where we can have large-scale Gladiator Games without anyone actually dying or being injured.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'
Holographic storage, and 3DTV that doesn't require glasses or motion sensing. These two already exist.
In terms of what doesn't exist yet: Perfected VR, and if we can't get FTL travel to work, then FTL communication at least. Why? Because...
In the future, we will receive a capsule from Sufficiently Advanced Aliens. The capsule will, in fact, be a self-contained FTL transmitter that the aliens intend to use as a communication bridge between us. Combined with us humans having perfected our virtual reality, this will mean that even without the ability to travel to the distant planets, we can still walk around on these planets as long as the aliens have installed the VR tech necessary for us to feel like we're actually there...

Forget about cyborg modifications and the like, we could keep our tried and tested bodies and at the same time piloting external "bodies" created for exceedingly specific environments.
