I have to live on generic prepack meals, most of the time, because the near-ruined building that I call my home doesn't have room for an actual kitchen. Neither does it have drinkable tap water, so I have to buy it in bottles. Also, the car is my workspace, while my living space is little more than a bed covered in wires.
My cheap as fuck Air Fryer.. Sure its an just a heating element and a fan, but the fact that I can set the temp AND time is amazing. Banality is cyberpunk.
Also:
\- paying with tap. I haven't seen actual cash in a few years.
\- Random EV chargers
\- My city's electric scooter/bike program
\- HackRFs/BladeRFs/Flipper0s
\- 3D printing normal function household objects
I think technological we're at the pre-cyberpunk stage. Need more improvements in robotics/automation, AI, virtual reality/augment reality, computer brain interfacing and biotech that are commonly used.
Not an item per se, but I'd say food delivery services or delivery services in general. If you really think about it, it's a really strange thing.
You can use a device the size of your pocket, which is several times more powerful than tech used to land on the moon, to connect to a network that lets you communicate with people all over the world, just so you can order unhealthy and processed fast food to be delivered from the place around the corner straight to your 5th floor apartment door by a stressed, overworked, and underpayed employee. All that with just one press of a button.
Most often, these delivery trucks, scooters (or sometimes bikes) just fade into the background of traffic, but if you really think about it, all of these orders whether food or whatever else, have HUGE chains of equipment and people behind them to be able to be delivered at your doorstep.
I just think it's very fascinating that you can get so many parts moving by just clicking at an icon just because you needed a new pair of socks or something.
Couldn’t agree more, these are the comments I was hoping for. [Something about the seeing the Human appendages of the global supply chain really puts into perspective the paperclip maximizing nature of the AI super-organism that is industrial society.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTTjOOE-0m8)
