Future complaints about technology that doesn’t exist yet.

1. The WWCI (World Wide Communications Implant) above my right ear is really itchy
2. Hard to find a decent iced mocha since the Great Robot Uprising of '21
3. Looks like a long line for the teleportation transporter again
4. Damned food replicator is on the blink again. Looks like I’ll have to print supper, again. Sigh.
5. My SynthSex partner keeps coming out the wrong gender. I just don’t go that way.
6. No devices available with screen bigger than a dollar bill
