Specialization run amok! I enjoyed it very much, I like these detailed brief vignettes of future possible life. This is hilarious and creepy all at once, 'tip' and options hidden in nested menus was particularly funny. Over time there is no limit to the bizarre social customs we will practice as long as the change is gradual. Would we recognize subtlety in human interactions from 400 years ago if we witnessed them?
Asimov in The Robots of Dawn tossed in a curious device, a Spicer it was called. In the future all the spices are locked up in a little machine and elaborate gestures and secret controls are necessary to release them onto the food. It probably looked like some Bop-It! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWIe0pD-AHs ) of the future.
Marshall Brain has written a story that imagines the gradualness of slipping into a dystopian future called Manna. It is a good read also ( https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 ). You should sit yourself down and make an anthology of these stories, all short and wildly different, for a book!
I like dependency-hell too. It would be funny if nuclear war had broken out while he was trying to make some coffee and he was too focused to notice.
