- We had a medium-sized bag that, despite the looks of its size, could fit so many items, just like the inventory bag of RPG game characters.
- We had a gadget that could automatically record our activities, basing it on our speech and movement. (Like an automatic journal.)
- There was a pen that could automatically write down anything we want, without even having to pick it up.
- Or that pen would never run out of ink.
- There was a healing patch that we could put on painful parts of the body or even headaches, and it would absorb the pain, thus removing it from the body. (not just those alleviate the pain, but really removes it)
- There was a potion that could help us forget our woes.
- We had a pod where we just need to get inside of, and automatically, when we emerge out of it, we have already bathed, eaten, brushed our teeth, and combed our hair.
- We had a device that we could use to transmit our thoughts to a PC or laptop, so that when we have really great ideas, we could just save it for reference. (Like when you have scenes in your head that you think would make a really good scene in a video or movie.)
- There was a bed that you could set an alarm on to wake you up by making you sit up in bed.
- There was a phone that had a built-in projector.
- We had chairs that could be folded into a book-sized rectangular piece that could fit into a bag, so that we could carry it around anywhere.
- There was a truth-telling serum that would, as the name implies, compel the user to speak only the truth for a certain length of time depending on the dosage.
I remember writing this around 6 years ago. I think some of these have actually already been invented? Or atleast already have prototypes of them. And thinking of this, it just makes you think of how much the world has already advanced. One moment, you'd think it's impossible, and years later, you see it become a reality.
So now in this present time, I'm gonna try adding some more what ifs to the list I made before. Let's see what I can come up with :>
What if...
- We can create a way to suck out those excess fats without having to spend thousands of money. B-)
- The Dokodemo Door becomes a reality. (Where would you go? )
- There was a restoration device that will reconstruct things into their original state provided they haven't been destroyed/deconstructed for more than a day. ( Like the power of Tatsuya in Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei)
- There was a head-device that enhances brain learning so that we can quickly grasps concepts or learn new crafts and skills much like how Sims can learn so quickly just by "practicing" or "studying" for a few hours.
- People could converse in dreams/thoughts, if both of them chose to allow the connection.
I must say, maybe I was more creative then, or maybe there's just so much existing things already that it's hard to come up with something new.
So, how about you guys?
Care to share your what ifs? ^^
Leave some in the comments below if you can think of some!
When this post payouts, I'm gonna give out a prize to the one with the "what if" that interests me the most,
but it has to be something that has not been made yet!
And you have to first upvote this post. ;>
The prize is 3 SBD.
I know it's not much, but all you have to do is upvote and comment, right? :3
And SBD's value is pretty high right now too. So, extra SBDs are never bad. :D
Before I announce the winner, I just want to give say that you have given me such wonderful what ifs, that I had a bit of some trouble choosing! But it was really fun for me going through all your submissions that I will definitely make another contest sometime soon. :3
@nirgf!
I will send you the prize when this post pays out! ;>
Also, I'd just like to special mention a few others who came close to changing my mind. I can't give you any prize, but I thought your "what if"s deserve the recognition :
- @clausewitz's merely ideas in a higher consciousness
- @brokemancode's theory behind de ja vu
- @nearbird's disassembling box
Thank you so much to everyone who joined! I hope you join again next time I hold one! :3
That has been me for this post.
Good day, Steemians! :3
What if we could travel through space at super sonic speed anytime we pleased? We would probably all have our own planets as there must be so many undiscovered habitable planets out there...

Such an interesting amd fun idea! I was just telling my boyfriend the other day, that years ago I envisioned a device that you could access any book you wanted amd read it right from the device😁 Which obviously we now have!
So here's another what if of mine.
What if there was a way to travel the world, and have new experiences without going anywhere. I don't mean watching something on VR, but a REAL experience that our brain really has, that we truly believe and feel every sensory experience of wherever we go or whatever we do. Almost like going into a paralell reality, and it actually creates real memories. Time feels real. Joy, fear, excitement, we really feel these emotions.
My second what if.... What if by thinking of these things, we bring them into reality/existance?
💋

Right? There's so many things now that we only dreamt of before. Amazing what things our mind can achieve and put into reality. ooooh. That second what if is promising, especially when coupled with the first. ^^ Now, that would be interesting indeed. I'd sure like a cheaper way to travel. Hahaha. Actually, it kinda reminds me of something in the movie Valerian. Thanks for joining!

Don´t think it has to do with intelligence but thanks anyway ;)
Yeah god or not, simply a consciousness not limited by our view of our selfs, no thoughs,space or time,pure altruism, an earlier stage of consciousness . This consciousness created, by the way of imagination, the opposite to it self, egoism. But the imagination it self was conscious or evolved into a conscious being and soon forgot it ever was part of something else. It started satisfying every need it could come up with, power, money,beauty and knowledge, and hunger all empty once you have it, meaningless.
This is as it shall and must be thou.
This was done with the purpose of creating free will, for humanity to turn away from materialism and greed and cry for altruism. Begging to once again be united with altruism and our origin, out of free will so shall free will be created.
This is the meaning of life and a journey that must be taken by everyone, it starts when you calm your mind and stop to think, look inwards without expectation or self and all shall be revealed.

What if humans are exposed to aquatic environments and adapt into beings capable of living underwater. And then people are given a choice of living in land or at sea.
What if there was a way to reset the world with the already known knowledge of the world intact. Pollution can be averted by clean energy. Poverty is eradicated with jobs. And money will no longer be a means of control. (Im simply describing a dystopia and building a utopia from the ashes. Creepy though much like how Firelord Ozai of Avatar dreamt of the world, or how hilter though chaos was the natural order of things lol)
What if we are mere concepts, an idea from a higher being bought into the world fOr his own enjoyment. He is trapped to make events in the world happen to keep himself company much like how we are blinded by anything material in the world not knowing that everything will come to pass and nothing ever really matters in the end. Even happiness is just a biochemical response which we thought is the true means of living but in truth, life is absurd and just a cycle of events from time immemorial

The first one was like in the Jonas brothers' song, Year 3000. Hahaha. The second one, now this is interesting, and it would be a great recreation of everything. Ozai definitely executed it in an awful way though. Hahaha. And hitler... Well, you know what history says about that. Though, if I may say, the Bible does mention a new earth, but whether we have memories of the old earth is something I am not sure of just yet.
And for the third, it's quite similar to an idea already submitted here. Hahaha
