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.

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.

The nerd in me says: A means to convert fission reactors into fusion reactors where those new reactors can reprocess all the existing nuclear waste and produce only some completely inert waste byproduct.

The capitalist in me says: I want the exclusive patent rights to determine the price for that conversion kit and who gets it.

The incorrigible sex starved pig in me has a completely different direction to go but that is available in FReepmail only so that I don't get banned.
