how about pocket computers with the power of a smartphone but the common sense usability of a goddamn graphing calculator? i'm sitting on a magic rectangle with more computing power than the apollo mission and it doesn't even let me blink the LED without installing an app?? these things should legally have to come with a scripting environment.

Software that is both ridiculously easy to use and able to bypass any and all DRM schemes past, present, and future. As a firm believer that any form of computer (not including game consoles because I don't care about them) software that severely limits when, where, and how you can use your legally purchased games, movies, e-books, etcetera, should be outright illegal, this is my answer.
Cryptocurrency.
Kidding! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm sure that will ruffle someone's feathers for a fraction of a second.
Does vegan based meat/milk alternatives count as a technology sector? The moment we figure out a way to actually seriously imitate high quality steaks and 2% cow milk with it being indistinguishable and half the price I think that will hurt factory farming which is a bit of a domino effect that would lead to less co2 and methane produced, less agricultural effort wasted on feeding animals, that kind of thing.
Probably some type of gene therapy or cancer research.
Healthcare, food, and housing for the poor.
Anti- fascist tech.
who is Anit and why do you support their fascist tech?
I'm fairly certain that we could actually fully automate food production, and might even be able to automate each step from farm to distribution with a little additional effort. The major obstacle that I can tell seems to be the upfront cost of the precision machines necessary to handle harvesting, automating the planting and care has already been accomplished.
AI to run companies in sustainably profitable ways that benefits their workers instead of rich greedy sociopaths.
Liberate Ukraine 🇺🇦
Torn between up voting the sentiment and down voting politics - I really don't think this counts as a tech endeavor.

Recycling and right to repair. If we could reclaim ~100% of raw materials in a useful way and avoid unnecessary waste it would have a big climate impact.
I mean, it's not like we don't know how to do that. But selling you a whole new thing every year or two is much more profitable than selling you one thing that lasts you a lifetime.
More complete alternatives to Apple and Google for telecoms devices.
Cultured Meat. Without relying on any major breakthroughs, a price competitive with "traditional" meat is feasible with a few rather reasonable and conservative assumptions and developments. Dropping cows as meat source globally alone might be sufficient to slow down further climate change significantly.
The problem is that we can't make an immune system and don't even know where to begin on that problem

Public education.
Fusion
Solar + Batteries
My thoughts exactly. If we could make solar panels more effective and cheaper in addition to having a way to store and quickly discharge that energy safely, we could power houses, cars, etc all without emission. Would love it if the batteries didn't have short lives as well.
Theres some cool solid state battery tech on the horizon, but it always seems to be on the horizon and never actually showing up.
System for default radical transparency by governments.
