Filmmakers use a lot of unrealistic shortcuts to get their point across as quickly as possible. Some of these shortcuts are so ridiculous and overdone that they end up ruining a viewer's suspension of disbelief. Here are some that seem to be in absolutely everything.

We're not sure who's more shocked here; The retail worker who learned the power symbol isn't a camera, or the tech support dude who had to tell them?

The panorama function on your phone or camera is a pretty cool tool for capturing landscapes and larger-than-life moments. When used incorrectly, it can turn people and places into goofs and nightmares.

There's something equally creepy and outright amazing about being the proverbial 'eye in the sky' with a mini, bug-sized drone. Okay maybe not quite bug-sized, but shit dude, this drone's just about tiny enough to escape the attention of the everyday, ignorant civilian that's probably actively avoiding social interaction with the aid of a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Yep, the SKEYE's a solid gift idea for the kids, and with the drone's reasonable difficulty levels, the experienced and inexperienced 'drone pilots' can have some fun. Oh, and don't even get me started on that 'throw-to-fly' capability: chuck the little thing for the fences, and watch it up and catch itself for a controlled flight seconds after? Ahem, sign me up.
