5 Ideas, 5 Problems and 5 Opportunities.
At the beginning of May I started writing down 10 ideas a day before realizing halfway through the month that they were just ideas, not solutions. From there I started to write down 5 problems and 5 opportunities for the future.
Now I post 5 ideas, 5 problems and 5 opportunities daily because what’s the use in keeping them to myself?
Ideas
- Internship board for local startups.
- ProductHunt for professionals looking for jobs.
- Teaching people how to build products quickly.
- Simplifying creating fullstack apps with a one-click-deploy functionality.
- 24/hr Kebab truck.
Problems
- Teens knowing at what point they should start to sober up.
- Simply being able to build apps won’t be enough to change the world in the future.
- People studying IT to become the next Bill Gates have missed the boat — studying science (specifically biotech and physics), electrical engineering, and design have a much higher chance at actually improving the world.
- The triviality of apps changing the world. Apps don’t, execution does (Uber)
- Governments not keeping up with paradigm shifts — sharing economy, gay rights, gun control.
Opportunities
- Figuring out whatever the hell comes after VR and AR.
- Mechatronics.
- Finding a cost efficient solution to provide water in the third world.
- Accurately predicting future events based on world events — stock prices, sports matches etc.
- Giving the next generation basic income, redesigned education, and a passion for fixing large problems.
