The biggest new technology breakthrough can be computer vision (so that unconstrained robots are possible). However, the type of people who can work on it are mostly working in big data (the stock market and online advertising). It is reasonable for them to do so (the money is just sitting there to be taken), so the solution to the innovation problem is to fund more people to work on computer vision.
