What seems lacking in the choice of projects is a particular expertise in any of these subjects. Pick an area of study, try and narrow it as much as possible, stick with it over several years, and seek to become the world's expert on that very narrow topic (which is hopefully useful). Then you will understand what needs to be built.

Alternatively, you commit to a field of expertise, only to become narrow minded, and unable to synthesize simple ideas into products end users care about.
