Every time I hear about World Coin scanning people's retina's for $50, driver monitoring tech inside new cars, or Amazon asking people to pay for things with palm prints I feel a bit like I'm living in the Minority Report. Does that count?

cyberpunk without any cool aesthetics.

What, you don't appreciate the beauty of an anti-homeless bench? /s

I like how every single new car model is an almost-identical Crossover.

Funny story, I live in a place where people turn up their noses at the slightly smaller crossovers for identity reasons, and there's a noticeable trend towards driving scooters with an aftermarket envelope because "normal cars" are just too big.
