I think ocean colonisation could be quite dangerous; we don’t know enough about it to do it safely, and we’d end up destroying the ecosystems in the oceans, not just on land.
This is, to my mind, rather human-benefits-now orientated; there are possible future dangers to the human race from several of them (though I do understand you can’t have progress without risk) and also to other species/possible aliens.
My suggestion for a great invention would be cold fusion (yes, I know other people have suggested it, but it would be a great benefit, what with its very small environmental impact and very large energy output).
Also, someone suggested direct mind-to-computer contact. That has actually already been invented; someone (perhaps in 2006?) got a brain implant that allows them to communicate directly with a computer, because they were paraplegic. I can’t remember any sources, but have a look!

In response to the people saying a panacea would lead to over-population: well that’s what the terraforming and space colonization is for. By the time we find a cure-all, we’ll probably be in the process of developing a way to colonize space.

And ocean colonization seems rather pointless. Its just as dangerous as space is, only in space there is A LOT more room and we’ll need to get up there anyway, so why bother with the ocean.

I don’t know how I feel about colonizing the oceans. After all we already have land and even though its gonna run out pretty soon its still going to be here for a long ass time. And fish live in the fucking ocean. NOT US

Many people have commented about economic failure…

They are valid and moral comments, though are short-sighted.

Economics always adapts to the situation, and if millions of people lose their jobs due to these inventions, they (or future generations) will be directed towards new types or areas of employment.

For example, they could be directed towards food replication industries.

I understand the moral complexities though of millions of unemployment.

There should be some advances in ethics or moral codes. Science has advanced quite a bit already, we need to figure out how to keep up or even get ahead of science in our belief system. For example; stop wars, stop greed and monetary meltdowns, etc. First to do that there should be some way to measure pain, suffering, happiness,etc.
When science started to advance they began with alchemists who tried to make gold. They had to figure out the periodic chart to determine that gold was a base element and could not be made except maybe by some galactic explosion.
We have to invent some sort of periodic chart for our beliefs and emotions so to determine what can and cannot be done to contain / or advance human reason.
