I don’t know about a future technology but one past technological advance that I am extremely glad about is running water, piped into the house and a system to carry the waste away.
Sure beats everything else, hands down!

Cheap fusion power. But I can't decide if we should closely guard the secret and really screw over every unfriendly nation or release the plans on the Internet so everybody could do it. Twenty years ago, I would go with the second, but these days, I am leaning towards the first, what with the Muslim Factor. Still, I suppose, if we did the second, it would collapse the oil market and make the bad guys goat herders again, so there is something to be said for both options.
Oh, followed by a FTL drive so we can get the hell off this rock. Maybe an oscillation overthruster.

Star Wars blaster rifles and pistols, and anti-gravity drives.

Better yet a dimensional door to millions of “other” Earths, find a nice vacant one and dump all the Muslims there.
And one for myself.

The antigravity button, that you just slap on your lapel and float around.
Rush hour in Tokyo will be hell until they straighten it out, though.

A butter dish that does not allow the stick of butter to slide around, is easy to clean and allows for cutting off and removal of a pat with only one hand.

A room temperature, malleable superconductor would be nice.

Come back in a century, and there will be one self-proclaimed Imam with a gun to his head, threatening to shoot. All the others will have killed each other over what Allah wants you to have for breakfast.

Only if I get a parallel Earth where stupid people making stupid decisions are forced to suffer the results of their own bad behaviour. Sweet!

Nobody to hate but themselves.
