What ideas and projects will take over communities and in turn the world in next 3 years?
I personally think- adtech is very saturated. DSP have become commodities with each company coming up of their own. There is a good chance for innovation in this space.
Back then I wanted to implement an internet provider, since my country sucks on providing it with a proper plans
1) Some kind of crawler that goes through YouTube videos indexing them and its subtitles and then when a user searches a word or idiom the web app would show some part of a video that speaks exactly that search term. I know there are other services that does that, but I want something more natural since these services use some kind of text to speech with a robotic voice and not a real life situation.
2) An old school open world MMORPG with modern graphics and a mix of Ultima Online (PVP) and Diablo III (Dungeons) gameplay. Nowadays every mmorpg is a copy of World of Warcraft with a different story. There is no innovation...
EDIT: add another idea :)
For me, it was a brain for my brain. I slung a lot of code to get what I wanted, but at the end of the day the encryption options are just not robust enough - or do not fit with other toolings needed.
Do you mean capturing the thought train on devices and with adaptive feedback mechanism to generate new ideas?
If I had access to a space launch capability for less than $100/kg, however, I could bootstrap the whole business from my basement with an investment of ~$100-200k from some friends. [0]
From SpaceX's perspective, they can put ~5 tons in lunar orbit for a cost of $200k in fuel [1]. $40/kg is great, but it's not what they charge their customers, and it's not what they'd charge me - demand from comsat operators with a much higher willingness to pay means that I have no access to the market, and SpaceX needs to make a profit.
Give it 10-50 years, and I'd expect real asteroid mining will become economically viable. [2]
[0] assuming zero NRE for mining robot fabrication and a single person salary.
[1] ignoring actual launch costs, personnel salaries, and assuming the whole booster stack is paid for through infinite perfect recovery.
[2] see also Planetary Resources, and why they should be in hibernation mode, not burning $2m/year developing camera sats. but hey, VCs have money to burn.
SimVillage - A building simulation game of of a village of up to say 1,000 villagers. Like Simcity/Skylines, but with the emphasis on detailed human simulation rather than on large scale.
I don't think these ideas would take over communities neither the world, but they are awesome: 1) Some kind of crawler that goes through YouTube videos indexing them and its subtitles and then when a user searches a word or idiom the web app would show some part of a video that speaks exactly that search term.
