It’s Sunday. You’ve got a hangover after six consecutive days of drinking at freshers' week. You really fancy a McDonald’s, but can’t bring yourself to leave the bed. Enter Jinn, the home delivery app that used stereotypical student slobbery to launch itself onto the app store.

WunWun, the instant delivery service for everything, has partnered with GetTaxi to let people have anything they like delivered directly to their car. The service is initially being trialled in New York, with plans to roll it out across the US if it's successful.

A new wave of technological advancements is making it easier than ever to plug into a techno-utopian automated lifestyle, as people increasingly expect to exchange minimum input for maximum output.

Push for a pizza, swipe for a cleaner and tap for a taxi. The rise of apps like Uber is facilitating the culture of ‘I want it, and I want it now’. For digital-savvy city-dwellers from London to Beijing, everything you need – from your dinner to a ride home – is just an app away.
