Whatever » Reader Request Week 2008 #2: Technological Gifts
Asked this question:
You are the the Great God Scalzi, but sadly you are not quite omnipotent. In fact you only have the ability to create five new technologies. Which 5 technologies will you bestow upon humanity in 2008?

Scalzi replies with only one thing,fusion as a stopgap energy source, because we need a cheap supply of energy now. Good choice.
The comments on it are pretty decent also.
What–you don’t know who Scalzi is?
