A "self-destructing nixie tube e-reader" doesn't sound too terribly far off. Actually, it's kind of frightening how well most of the randomly generated phrases would translate into actual things.
I'd like to see something using ambient backscatter communications (no FCC licensing required) in a local area network coupled with the increasingly interesting nanopower radio wave energy harvesting IC chips (Texas Instruments, for example) and associated specialized battery systems (which are like a hybrid between a capacitor and a battery.) The range is usually under 10m. But these could be sealed into ceramic tiles to create flooring systems that span a home and provide low speed networks that also can monitor and find devices you own (like a key chain fob you left somewhere and have no idea where it is at, assuming the key fob ALSO includes one of these device nodes.) They can be completely self-powered and never needing replacement or repair and they can be instructed to update their software, too. Probably best to use one of the FRAM memory systems for extremely low power while running, as well.
I currently don't have the time for the research efforts required. But all of the components exist and ambient backscatter is already being used, as well. So just tossing it out there.
Do you have terms related to FPGAs, GPUs, cryptocurrencies/blockchains, space exploration, biology, chemistry, nuclear/quantum physics, metrology, meteorology…?

If anyone has some more buzzwords, please comment to this comment. Need to add "ultra-sonic" and "magic smoke" when I'm back home

that's pretty good!
Are you sure? yes | no
I got "hydroponic wheelchair" on my first try!
Are you sure? yes | no
"CONNECTED ARM PROCESSOR" doesn1t seem to be anything new. Maybe a system bug generated that! hahahah
Are you sure? yes | no
try again then, it's for free ;)
Are you sure? yes | no
"inductive MIDI Beer" sounds good ;)
Are you sure? yes | no
"VULNERABLE PERIPHERAL ARM PROCESSOR" I got the last 3 buzz words so far. :)
Are you sure? yes | no
well some of those are already made, I guess :D
Are you sure? yes | no
AUTONOMOUS DREAM RASPBERRY PI, this contest is in the bag ;)
But seriously, this will be quite useful!
