We could look at the OP's point and take it a bit further to ask, What are the biggest problems humanity faces today and how can software contribute and co-operate with other disciplines to tackle these problems? Most of the problems, that humanity today faces are in some way or other linked to Geo-Politics, unequal distribution of resources/wealth/well-being among the world population, non-optimized consumption of natural resources and we are running out of them and so on and so forth. So can software or software startups think about finding the problems they are trying to solve by taking into mind the global perspective? Or are they even willing to? I am not a startup guy and I don’t even have many friends in the community, so I am not in a position to answer this question, but I am sure others here can. But problems alone can’t take up whole of the domain of human interest. So, the second part of the question, would be, what are the most interesting problems/technologies software could solve teaming up with other disciplines? I guess, many people are already working on such things, but the tech is still not mature enough or marketable enough, to be presented to the world, e.g. Google Xlab.
