Traffic jams. Nope, still there; no major changes from what I can see: https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/traffic-index/ranking/?country=US,CA,DE,FR,UK&population=LARGE https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/traffic-index/ranking/?country=... (compared to 2019) https://www.adac.de/verkehr/verkehrsinformationen/staubilanz/ https://www.adac.de/verkehr/verkehrsinformationen/staubilanz... (just highways; seemingly much worse, possible twice as many hours spent compared to 2012) Attracting a bar-tender's attention. Nope, technical solutions to that "problem" are a curiosity, I think. Would immediately classify a place as less-classy in my eyes. Maybe that's just me, and maybe it's widespread in more futuristic parts of the world. Honestly, wasn't that big a deal in 2012. Resetting a microwave's clock after a powercut. Nope. In addition, you get to update the firmware of your fridge and troubleshoot its wifi. I just got a microwave without any kind of display. Replacing used up items (toothpaste, butter). Nope. Tasting a dish to see if it's salty or spicy enough. I don't understand why you'd expect a "solution" to this "problem" to come up now. What's changed? What kind of technology is on the horizon for this? Who would even buy a gadget that purports to tell you something you can find out with a spoon? Recharging gadgets. Nope. More gadgets, more recharging. Waiting for a taxi. Nope. Apps instead of a phone call, that's the major change. And a percentage going to tech companies, of course. Though you could order a cab with an app in many places in 2012, and can't order one with an app in many places in 2022. Personally, I still call. Flossing, deodorising, and most manner of personal hygiene. Again, why on Earth would you expect a solution to this arrive anytime soon? How would that even work, for something as general as "most manner of personal hygiene". Monthly billing cycles. Nope. Many providers try to trick you into yearly contracts, but I don't think that's what was meant.
