What's written here isn't bad from a mechanical perspective. I didn't notice much in the way of errors that I can easily point out. The main thing that I saw was the sentences being a tad too long in some places. There's a few awkwardly phrased sentences, but it's nothing that significantly diminishes its readability.
The descriptions were rather abrupt, as shown in the example below.
A large display materialized above the browser, navigating to a video clip on Youtube.
As you can see above, the items simply happen, and they don't really had a whole lot of depth to the scene. It can create a somewhat jarring effect, but I think that's the purpose in writing prompts like this story. It's not really meant to excel in the world building or add to the scene. They are just funny one-liners meant to emit a chuckle or two.
And I think the story does okay in doing that for the general populous, but overall this story feels more like a concept rather than a fully fleshed out story with deep characterization, intricately woven plot, and interesting world building. It's a "What-if scenario" without the punchline.
