Technologies I want

Time Travel: so many regrets, I'd like to undo a lot of them, keep the lessons learned, while undoing the damage.

Aging backwards: I had a fucked up childhood, would give anything to start over again from a baby, but armed with all the lessons I now know.

Immortality: If I could stop aging once I reach adulthood, that would be nice, then I could see more of where the future is going.

Shape-shifting: So I could evolve alongside the other humans, so that I don't get stuck as a disabled freak among comparative living gods.

FTL Space travel: probably would come as part of the package with time travel, would be nice to see all that this universe has to offer, or at least get a chance to.

"God Computer": I'd like to know all sorts of answers to all sorts of questions, a computer that could run perfect simulations and give perfect answers would be wonderful company, even if not a sapient AI.

Transhumanism: I'd like to see transhumanist technology like designer babies to be in good hands, being applied to a good purpose, as someone born with genetic defects and underachieving in life, I'd like to see a world where everyone has as much potential as they could possibly have, because having infinite genetic potential is to have infinite freedom in choosing the kind of person you want to become.

It might also be cool to see what the ultimate humanoid creature would be (ultimate as in "maximum potential and range of ability").

Alchemy/Replicators: the ability to make anything from an equivalent mass of anything else would be world changing, especially since the fine control of such a technology would allow for the production of materials of the like that are simply impossible to produce today.

Artificial planets, moons, solar systems, etc.: imagine being able to customize your own cool af planet in your own custom cool af solar system?

There are so many things I'd like to see become real.

What technologies would you want, and why?

Think about this stuff because I'm feeling depressed and lonely, I'm not having fun, trapped inside while summer vanishes on me, and since I'm surrounded by mindless vaccine takers, I now have to avoid people for the rest of my life. So, let's talk about fun stuff.

I'm a simple man. I want a small, efficient power source capable of supplying a home with all its energy needs for a minimum of 10 years.

I want an energy storage device that can be supplied from the source above and that is capable of driving a car, tractor, etc.

I want a home water purification system and sewage disposal system that is space efficient, cost efficient, and capable of recycling all household water.

Other than that, I'm good.
