Wow.

I would think of smart tvs showing adverts, and if you do not pay 
attention, something they know by photographing your eyes, they would 
replay again and again the adverts before letting us watch the movie :-P

On one Asimov tale, a character goes back in time several times, to 
change life, but not his enemy, till a moment in the future where what 
his enemy did sometime that was was praiseworthy becomes very bad 
(because of his tiny changes of the timeline) and he is arrested.
