Flying tablets: Samsung patents futuristic device that could follow you around the room
...the flying Samsung tablet will be capable of remaining in your view while you shuffle and move by tracking your face.
With the help of voice recognition, obstacle detection and an array of sensors (gyroscopic, accelerometer and motion), the screen could follow you around home like a pet. Imagine folding the laundry or vacuuming while you watch Stranger Things.
Yeah no thanks, I don't need technology following me, suspended and floating in my face. Plus it sounds so outdated compared to a voice activated hologram.

This Dark Pixar Fan Theory Puts Wall-E in a Disturbing New Light http://www.dorkly.com/post/80888/this-dark-wall-e-fan-theory-puts-the-movie-in-a-disturbing-new-light
And now I'm kind of regretting reading that last link
Think back to the last time you watched Wall-E. Why aren't there any kids around?

The website has a 'Read This First' section about media manipulation
Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media

Speaking of remembering something about media manipulation...The concept of 'erasing bad memories' was in the kid's movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (a good movie BTW). The newspapers magically changed from reports of a real event (magicians and wizards caused), to a distraction story,, with the info about the real event, lost down the memory hole (for the no-magic 'humans' ).

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is about this too, Overton window?

Some trivia about the sausage being made:
Regarding Overton Window and the shit TV puts into show to expand it:
The scene in the TV show Billions where the 'crusading federal prosecutor' and BDSM slave (Paul Giamatti as Charles "Chuck" Rhoades Jr.) is pissed on by his dominatrix wife.
That's just one example of steady desensitizing of the public to crap we don't want to see as they keep pushing the envelope towards making pedophilia 'no big deal'.
