From robots making your tea to gene editing, science fiction is sneaking into real life. Rank these emerging technologies by how much they genuinely intrigue you.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Artificial Intelligence
AI is already writing emails, diagnosing illnesses and arguing with you on Twitter. Brilliant assistant or future overlord?
Gene Editing (CRISPR)
Scientists can now rewrite DNA like a dodgy Word document. It could cure inherited illnesses, but designer babies feel a bit dystopian.
Quantum Computing
Computers that can crunch problems classical machines would take millennia to solve. Nobody really understands it, including the people building it.
Fusion Power
Limitless clean energy from squashing atoms together, like the sun does. Always twenty years away, but maybe this time it's serious.

Brain-Computer Interfaces
Chips implanted in your skull to control gadgets by thought alone. Marvellous for paralysed patients, slightly terrifying for the rest of us.
