There are problems in computing - let's say popular computing - that are not being addressed. This could be a small problem or a big one. It's a big one, but it's sort of low key, so no one notices. I am not talking about "niche" problems that would be of interest to clever entrepreneurs who know "niche" means "money". Since these are not niche problems, nobody cares. Meanwhile, sure, the programmers are exploring esoteric back end type problems, endlessly, but their efforts have little relevance to these fundamental problems I mention. Unlike back end problems, these problems are simple and obvious, and affect everyone directly, and are of concern to everyone, and are not anywhere addressed - except in convoluted, indirect ways.
These problems are not exceptionally challenging from a technical perspective - rather the opposite. They are challenging from a conceptual perspective. The conceptual problem is, why should we pay attention to fundamentals, the management of which is already subject to established procedures? There is also this: how can we commercialize a concept? But there might be ways, and as regards why we should do it, there are reasons.
To wit, as an example, the mouse, and I have invented a mouse that is a vast improvement, and very inexpensive to manufacture. It might be a good place to start, and, if it's a success, then I want to address other similar problems.
