COMMENT: Are our phones listening to us? Or am I just paranoid?
I was discussing with my husband at lunch the other day, how we needed a new duvet for our bed.
It's been so long since we purchased one, we briefly discussed where would be best to buy one and what type would be best. So far, sooooooo boring, I know. But not according to my phone.
It seems my phone was not only listening in, but it was also trying to do something about it. A few hours after our discussion (which to be frank only lasted a couple of minutes before we'd moved on), my Instagram feed started popping up with ads for bedding, blankets and - you guessed it - duvets.
Equally creepy is that my phone was not even in use while we'd been talking earlier, it'd been sitting in my pocket, and then after I'd taken a call from one of the kids, it sat on the table.
