What are some examples of real world problems meant to be solved by the programmers?

In my mind I think programmers are "meant" to solve (like a MD): pain points... ...everyone feels (acute, distracting-us-right-now problems) ...everyone accepts (chronic, why-do-you-live-with-this?! problems) ...before they happen (nobody-should-ever-have-to... problems) while carefully treading in the recreational (money, entertainment, distraction, personal gratification / gain) side to it all. The point is...I think programmers are also in the "do no harm"* business -- but that's just me. * Trickier to do than to say. Just think about what sort of programmer you want to be.

Think about all of the technologies you currently use. That. Think about all of the technologies you want to have. That. It's really as simple as thinking about a problem, and then thinking up a solution for it through our technology. Obviously, if your problem is planting a seed, then just dig up the dirt and plant the see. Clearly, I'm talking about technologies that are related to what we're discussing. For example, when I first started my job, there was a lot of reporting that took up about 6 hours every day. To me, that is a problem for various reasons, from the waste of time/money to the fact that I hate reports. As such, I used my programming skills and now I simply push a button; the 6 hour reports take 10 mins now. *EDIT* To add onto what I said, you could program a robot to plant the seed for you also. :D

self-driving cars etc. every human task that you can imagine or even can not imagine being done by a robot/machine.
