What are some of the changes you would expect in a furry reality? (yiffit.net)

Everyday things would be different. You have to account for tails everywhere. Bandaids wouldn't work with fur. Would shirts be worn, or would natural fur coats be all that is there? Food workers would have full body nets. Claw tips come out of a different area and would make some tasks that use fingertips difficult (typing)...

Off screen is always a cheap excuse, but makes for funny comics.

From your descriptions, it sounds like the creatures in your world are sentient versions of the ones in ours. I think that world would look different in ways we can't imagine. The analogous technologies would have hundreds of years of development starting from a different baseline. I think there would be a lot more cooperation needed for tasks, and things would be designed with that in mind. Continued development would lead to more automation, like in our reality, but not in a form we are used to. A keyboard wouldn't work with paws, but that isn't to say something just as efficient wouldn't be created as an input method. The whole written language might look different to account for potential writing dexterity limitations. The world would be completely alien.
