First off, I like Atrocities have a disability. I am totally deaf in one ear because I have a disease that ruins my hearing. I take comfort at least that if my other ear goes I can still play SE4 (with the sound turned off) and uses the internet, plus I can still read (in fact I can read while blocking my good ear with one finger). Anyway back to the topic. Every month I go to the Library and read Popular Mechanic and Science. Its amazing what technologies are being built. As well as the monkey strapped into a machine so only the bionic arm run from cables in its head moves, there are replicators being built. Not molecular ones, but simple ones printing 3 dimensional shapes. In the future you could have your replicator in your workshop and when you need new cutlery or crockery or maybe furniture you just "print" one out.
