Those relatively comfortable "problems" of modern life have already been solved to death, beginning with Alexander Bell and ending (sort of, for now) with Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
I doubt that you'd get many of the 7 million small and mid-sized businesses in the United States to agree with this. Many of them have an unquenchable thirst for information: more, better, faster, in order to survive. Thousands of developers (and start-ups!) are working furiously to provide it to them. In fact, they're so busy that they don't have much time to tell you what they're doing.
Which may be why OP doesn't realize they exist.
