  Everybody who works in a particular field will say that'll be a big area of innovation. So, if you take people from a bunch of big companies, the answer you'll get is that the areas where there are currently big companies will improve. So if, in 1967, you asked everybody what the top areas of technology innovation would be in 1985, you'd COMPLETELY MISS personal computers. Similarly, in my opinion, this is completely missing the advent of useful mobile, possibly domestic robots, which are significantly less than 18 years away from being viable, especially teleoperatedly (which doesn't require AI to be solved).

  it's interesting that about half these were core infrastructure related - distributed energy, transport, climate and water. these systems were invented in the late 19th C (or not recognized as a problem in the case of climate), massively deployed in the 20th C and now we're realising aren't able to scale up to 10B people. personilised medicine is a no-brainer (to pick, "GBP$"GBP hard to develop!). sorry guys, the internet is the coolest thing ever but it's an addition to basic human needs, not a substitute. Facebook's not gonna feed/water/energise/heal the world.
