There are plenty of positives in the film — the cool flightsim, the lack of need for a physical TV, help with cooking... heck, the dating app was even helping improve the dude's love life up until he revealed he used it at the end. I think the point is that these helpful augmentations, taken too far, become harmful. But if we really want to improve the world, I like the counter in the fridge telling you how many days each food will stay good. That could be enhanced. What if, when you know you have too many zucchinis, you could click a 'share' button and instantly offer them to friends in your apartment building, so they end up in a neighbor's stir-fry and not the trash? Or let Sight predict your cooking habits for the next week based on past behavior, so when you're shopping, it can beep, put a red outline around the zucchini and say "recommend not buying - likely to rot before use." This kind of tech could seriously reduce food waste, which is a big deal in the developed world. I don't have a citation on hand for how much food gets thrown away in the US, but I believe it's over 25 percent.
