A simple question that anyone can contribute to.
I'd say something that can limit and ration oxygen. Imagine having to pay for the right to breathe air. Let's hope nothing like that is ever invented.

Well, that is almost being done to water/water rights at this point, and not just in developing countries. I will not buy Fiji Water because of what the firm is doing to the citizens of Fiji, and their utter gall. These folk also own POM, which sells a lot of pomegranate products. Water is going to become a more costly resource than petroleum products at this rate.
No, I have not seen many dystopia films (THX1138) or read many books of that genre (1984), but the idea that the government might implant control chips in us at birth scares the tar out of me.
One sees a slippery slope with GPS in vehicle location implants at this point: at first, it's a good idea, you can avoid getting lost, and your vehicle can be recovered, and it's gradually nearly universally adopted. Then govt. steps in and says every vehicle must have one “just in case” of emergency. Then we don't hear, but They are constantly tracking us, and there are no librarians destroying records, as they have with circulation records to thwart the “Patriot” Act. Then our comings and goings become more regulated, ad infinitum.
There are microchips in our pets, which most agree helps locate lost or stolen pets, and keep more unified health records (not sure about that last). Then someone had the bright idea about chipping seniors in decline, in case they should wander off, and some suggested them for one's children: mostly to keep tabs on their whereabouts, and a bit for the kidnapping possibility. That set some folks' backs up, because they began to see a very uncomfortable slippery slope.

Last sudden thought: if we settle the moon or any other barely habitable place, or have asteroid miners (lots of SF fiction has them), oxygen/breathable air will cost them a lot. Think of the cost of getting it to them…

I've always wanted to be able to add a tiny GPS to our cats to see where they go during the day!

Some enterprising person could modify the existing microchip for pets to do that, for reearch at least, I expect. That WOULD be interesting. Until Mithril had to become an inside cat, due to age impacting her ability for the outside stairs (we lived in what we referred to as The Stairmaster with a View, with a reverse floor plan, so it was up two stories for her from the ground), and then in another house, her deafness and inability to defend herself against other cats, she did wander a lot.
Replicators because earth ends the day humanity can create a copy of anything and everything. Work, money and society would crumble.
What about those 3D printers that seem to promise to become mainstream, Franky?!

Star Trek disagrees with you.
On the same vein…Replicators akin to the things from Stargate SG-1…that would be a scary epidemic…

Over to you…
A new source of fuel that is infinite in supply and more effecient than oil.
Because that'd mean my hopes & dreams for our nation's revival is crushed.
By 2050 Britain will be, just about, the only nation left with oil as the world runs out, but we have lots of it under ice in the south Falklands & the British Antarctic. Which means we can either keep it for ourselves and use it to dominate the world since we'll be the only ones with working planes, tanks and ships, or, sell it at a ridiculous price and dominate the world financially.
So, nobody go replacing oil please. 😀
Why should Britain dominate the world compared to any other country? How about we all come together and share, like happy, playful toddlers?
