I would think GPS advanced capability – Not only capable of finding your lost moggy or car keys or even clowns lost in snow drifts in the lake district – But also tagged known criminals – Current capabilities can track you to within 1 metre of where you stand ( if you have your mobile with you) and future plans are to add medical assistance tags for the vulnerable with pacemakers or life threatening issues so that if you flake out alarm bells ring back at the monitoring centre and you can be located quickly – And must have more to come .

On a less serious note, one of the things invented 4 months after I was born was Mad magazine. Alfred E. Neuman had yet to make an appearance.
