The 5 that matter

Dear CNET members:
Many of you came up with great ideas for this week's question; now if only I could find my darn transmitter key. Here's the winner:

1 What will be the next high-tech gadget you won't be able to live without?

The universal infrared key. Imagine the transmitter you use to unlock most new cars, but go further: one that would open the door to your house, apartment, mailbox, office, cabinets, and more--preferably all in one small, oval-shaped gadget (no more heavy key chains!).
