1) Quantum Technologies. a) Quantum communication has some awesome communication privacy protocols, can make a huge impact on global privacy. b) Quantum computing and simulation. similar to the startup rigetti that I know was funded, but from a research level. Quantum computation and simulation hardware can be a huge breakthrough for our understanding of physics, being able to perform computations never even close to possible with a classical computer in a decent amount of time. 2) Refreshing education research. How could we, for example, make high quality learning content (think coursera) something that's used by schools around the US, and would not be compromised by bad teachers? 3) Reinventing the current political system. Somehow we live in a time where political figures can honestly say anything and have little accountability --- both of their previous stances on the subject, and future actions taken. we need to do better here. America can't keep choosing political figures cause they are popular. That information needs to be made easily accessible and a rising cultural norm, like wikipedia.
