I think there is a lot to discuss here.

I'd pump the brakes on technology. Especially the internet.

"Does X need to be improved?" "No" "Then we don't progress it because its current state functions and does things as efficiently right now"
"Does Y need to be improved?" "Yes" "Then we research, fund and progress it"

Phones would be fun again and not just a series of rectangles with silicone. They'd have any design that they want, so long as it still functions normally as a phone would.
