It's amazing to think of all the inventions and advancements we've seen over the course of time.
Smart phones, automated check out machines, electric powered cars.
In this modern age of technology and science, it's rare for a year to go by without a major new invention.
Seeing every new invention with each passing year only leads us to wonder, what does the future have in store?
Redditor dramafan1 was curious to hear what people hope to see invented during the course of their life, leading them to ask:
"What invention would you want to see in your lifetime?"

One can only assume it will only be a matter of years, months, or even days when these wishes become a reality.
Or at least that people are hard at work in hopes of doing so.
