I just had an experience with a auto soap dispenser, sink, towels and dryer set in the same place in a public restroom, didn't have to walk to a shared dryer

Plus if electric cars become the norm, the streets will be quiet for the first time since the industrial revolution

Everything's connected, there's a vast collection of human knowledge available at a few clicks, smart homes, and the future is looking very hopeful!

Rode in a self driving taxi the other day. While it was very cool, it was much more cool to see the fellow passengers freak out and record the entire ride

My appliances.

The only "smart" appliance I own is a TV, and the ability to just press a few buttons instead of swapping inputs/cords to watch basically anything on it feels pretty futuristic. Even my dumb appliances have features now I never saw even in the rich kids' houses as a kid in 90s. My toilet has a lid that is engineered to close slowly on its own with gravity instead of slamming. I can use the internet anywhere in my home from a handheld rectangle, man.

I'm dating myself hard with this comment, I know, but as a guy in his mid 30s I'm pretty routinely struck by the thought of how sci-fi some of my commonplace stuff really is compared to what I thought shit would look like as a kid/teenager.

My AVP. Every time I put it on I’m amazed how well I can see the world and all the floating windows are so crisp.

Sorry to burst your bubble regarding quiet streets, but tires make a lot of noise, too. So if we just replaced every car to be electric, the streets would certainly be quieter, but not silent. The best way to make cities actually silent is to remove cars entirely.
