What if PC makers threw off the obsession with thin and fragile and made laptops as thick as old laptops with a nice big honking battery? You could set off on a trip and not need to recharge until you reach your destination. You could game for an entire flight. You could forget about hauling around external battery packs. You could stop worrying that the razor thin plastic is going to crack open. Nah, thin and light, gotta be trendy.
...which will imprison people for using the word "cyber". Each instance of the word would carry the penalty of 24 hours locked inside a smelly hall closet with a small television blasting the movie Lawnmower Man on an endless loop.
Manufacturing is extremely energy intensive, it's where most of the end cost often resides. Renewables will not even put a dent in the armor of that massive energy demand, and price is obscene. The solution is next generation nuclear, it's the only clean source of power that can meet demand and do it safely. China is already working on it but regulatory bodies in the US are obstructing progress and refusing to do their job.
What if we banned manufacturing in nations like China where pollution is almost totally uncontrolled? Instead we would require manufacturing to take place in first world nations where emissions can be reliably managed. Our corporations obviously see developing nations as a mere resource to be exploited without regard.

They are super special made of unicorn horns and fairy dust, not less than 1 billion per patent.
This is what Nintendo does, it's their thing, it's an old school marketing tactic to create desirability for a product.
I'd bet people are hesitant to pay into the Goolag due to YouTube shenanigans.
People stream news channels live on YouTube and YouTube monetizes those streams?
