The kitchen stuff is not that far off. We have coffee makers and bread baking machines that can be programmed to have ready for us hot coffee and fresh bread when we wake up in the morning. We don't have machines that make our eggs or cook our bacon for us - it's possible to do, but no one really wants it. We can, however, grab our breakfast from the freezer, and put it in the microwave or toaster. We do have semi-prepared frozen meals. There are bags of frozen pasta and vegetables that are intended for you to add your own chicken. Frozen food has come a long way in the last 50 years.

As far as lighting goes, he's wrong in imagining windows would go out of style, people like large windows with lots of natural light. While we don't use the panels that he imagined, we do have a lot more lighting options than we had 50 years ago, and you can buy windows where the tint can be adjusted. He talks about lights in whatever color you want, and you can do that, there's just not a lot of demand for colored lights.
