This reads like one of those futurist pieces from the 60s that we look back at now to laugh at.

Yeah, only all the things it says are tame and they make much sense, as opposed to being some extravagant predictions about flying cars and robot assistants.

Other than that, totally like those futurist pieces from the 60s.

The part about 3d printing "to create specific housewares for a dinner party when you throw it" to minimize the need for storage seems pretty out there, but that's the only part that really stuck out to me.

What about the fact that we no longer need kitchens because we've got Uber Eats?

Food delivery has existed for a long time, and going out to eat has existed even longer, but I still want a kitchen.

Yes, but people increasingly cook less for decades.
