Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it sounds like it's mostly to be used for media (picture) manipulation
That's what I figured. I don't have audio here, so I have no idea of anything but the visuals, but it's more of a mouse/monitor replacement (plus addition of neato stuff!) than a keyboard replacement.
If you're going to make much more inroads into replacing paper, content manipulation is going to have to be more analogue than it is now.

Really. Many of these deserve their own posts. Like the bedroom TV that automatically slides out from under your bed, unfolds itself and positions itself for you to watch.

OK, I've seen all the versions of Little Shop of Horror, and I know damned well that most of those sit-upons intend to eat someone. If not just stroll off somewhere.

Heh, yesterday I was stopped behind a low-slung Mercedes at a red light, when suddenly the top started to lift up and the back window slid into the trunk, all in about 30 seconds. Now, that's a convertible. I found myself not even resenting the guy who was driving it, because it was so. damn. cool.

I've learned how to royally piss an entire medical team off. Just say, "I want Grace transferred because I lack confidence in your care."
Of course they didn't offer to transfer her BACK to Huntington, but they did offer to send her to UCLA, which at least must be a cleaner hospital than Children's.

Hardtop convertibles. Looks like they may be the next big thing, as you can lower the top but still have the advantages of a steel hardtop. A bunch of companies have them, including VW and the new Chrysler Sebring....

For a hot second in the 80s I thought I was living at the one true sartorial time, where everyone else was mockable and we'd be right forever.
ita's insight reminds me of this Tom the Dancing Bug cartoon, which provides a good illustration of age versus cohort for psychology classes:

Oh, Kat. I'm so sorry and so very angry at how the people you should be able to trust, who should answer your questions and who should be giving Grace the best of care screwed this up. My best thoughts are for your girl.
