Where's my hoverboard? And other movie tech we want now

Robocop
With all the paperwork and red tape, the police could use a little help -- and what better help than a super-human policeman, half man, half machine? Policemen are already carrying webcams, so this is the logical next step, right?

Where the hell is it?
In terms of mean cyborg fighting machines, there are robotic defence systems and super strong exoskeletons that are almost as scary as Peter Weller. Those crazy cats at Darpa are working hard on Luke Skywalker-style prosthetic limbs that are controlled by the wearer's mind.

I want one now!
Cyborgs are all around us. Medical technology has advanced to the extent that many people have technology inside or on their bodies to help them get on with their everyday lives, such as pacemakers or hearing aids. No leg compartments with concealed automatic pistols yet, though.
