Greetings All-
I suspect smartphones are listening to private in home conversations. Several months ago I'm talking to wife about installing additional home insulation in the kitchen. Wife gets ads the next day for insulation contractors. Yesterday, I'm talking about getting our trees trimmed. She gets ads today-you guessed it- from tree trimmers. About several weeks ago a friend is telling me he's going to Wal-Mart to pick up some shaving supplies. Shortly thereafter he gets ads on his smartphone for razor blades. Other people mention similar experiences.
Is this coincidence or am I just paranoid? Should one put their smartphones in a box and in the closet when talking in the privacy of their homes?
