One of the problem of our time is that the average person has less friends with whom he can talk about everything than he had a hundred years ago. It’s not clear that the solution is technology but it’s probably innovation.
At the moment I have the problem that I can’t be as loud as I want in my flat. Especially after 22 o’clock. It would disturb my neighbors.
Having an efficient way to build houses in a way to shield neighbors from each others noise would be worthwhile.
We have a political system that’s very messy. Finding a way to improve it requires good innovative thinking. Concepts such as liquid democracy have the potential to be viable.
Working lie detectors would revolutionize our legal system.
I think the whole education system has a lot of potential for innovation that radically improves it.
Divorce rates are really high and that suggests that either people make errors in matchmaking or that people are bad at doing the work to keep up a relationship. Both are problems where innovation might help.
Running prisons in a way that the people who get released don’t commit further crimes is an unsolved problem.
I don’t see any conceivable realistic technological innovation that would be as transformative as the flush toilet, vaccinations, birth control, telephones, cars and airplanes.
I don’t think airplanes were considered conceivable and realistic before they were invented. I don’t think people did conceive of flush toilets before they got invented.
