From teleportation to talking to your toaster, sci-fi has promised us wonders for decades. Time to rank which fictional tech you'd actually queue up at Currys for.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Teleportation
Imagine swapping Avanti West Coast delays for instantaneous travel. No more soggy sandwiches at Euston, just blink and you're in Edinburgh.

Hoverboards and Flying Cars

Cryogenic Freezing
