Yeah, wouldn't want exotic creatures and weird technology getting in the way of our plausible real-world reading.
Good list. Don't forget pocketable devices that make phone calls, track you across the planet, carry a few thousand songs to listen to, keep your appointments in order, and can allow you to set your DVR when you're on the other side of the country. And fans with no blades. And meals that get hot when you pull a string. And a network that lets people trade messages in text or video across the globe in realtime.
