I've answered this question many different ways at various points in my life.

This week, I'd like the power to see events that have transpired with the ability to show them to others. This could be used to solve questions of our creation, witness religious miracles, resolve murders, and see disputed historical events. (However, I've never wanted to see into the future because that would sap all of the fun out of it.)

I'd like to think that with this knowledge we could move on with our lives and stop bickering over stupid stuff.

Then again, last week I wanted to leverage the unused brain cycles of other people to resolve complex problems. (Since some folks I know aren't pulling their weight or using even their minimum potential...) Think of it as sort of a distributed computing solution for humanity. I quickly rescinded this wish when I realized, given the quality of some of the hardware involved (including my own), the results would probably be flawed anyway.
