First question, where can we go from where we are? What do people desire that they can not have? I am not going to suggest that there is nothing left to be invented but I find it quite hard to come up with things that would have a significant impact. The one big thing that comes to mind is health - cancer treatment, organ replacement, and so on.

Less labor and more leisure time seems like the biggest winner for lots of people right now. I have all the commodities I could ever genuinely want, but for all my nifty gadgets I'm still giving up around a quarter of my life in exchange for a salary and I barely have time to actually them. If we could divert resources from generation of new/improved commodities or shareholder value and instead allow people to have more leisure time I believe that we'd see a lot of knock-on social benefits.
