Technological progress

I spend a lot of time on phys.org and similar websites and I see many articles about various advancements in several fields.  I often wonder what kind of technological achievement is the most important for humanity.  

Here is a poll proposal to try to figure it out.

As far as I'm concerned, I voted for computing power because it is the key to further progress in other directions.  Computing power brings simulation of physical systems, thus ease development in engineering.  It is also one of the paths to artificial intelligence, which is the key to everything.

Clean and powerful energy, once we crack that, everything else will follow.

whether we can enter black holes and come out in a different part of space. Get as far away as possible from people that don't "get" bitcoins.

I voted energy.  But really, energy is hindered by lack of economic progress, which is why I'm here.
