The TV is on in the background, and you’re replying to a quick email on your phone nearby. You don’t know it, but the devices are communicating. During a commercial, the TV emits an inaudible tone and your phone, which was listening for it, picks it up. Somewhere far away, a server makes a note: Both devices probably belong to you. This information about which devices belong to whom is immensely valuable to advertisers hoping to target ads specifically to you. In a simpler time, targeted marketing was easy. Most people had a computer at work and maybe another at home. If you sent an email about your new cat, ads for cat food started cropping up. If you searched for Thanksgiving recipes, Safeway coupons for turkeys appeared in your Facebook newsfeed.

Just assume that any new devices in your home (especially ones with mics) are listening.
I unpack laptop from factory box, and put tape over the built in web cam.
Then disable the mic in the settings.
No TV. No Smartphone, No FB, No Google.

My understanding is the older phones without internet access don't have this problem.
Used foil chip bags are your friend.
Or marathons of That 70s Show, How It’s Made, and Ancient Aliens?
:)
I have a dumb phone issued by “Common Cents”. It doesn’t support anything weird.
What's wrong with "smart quotes" and possibly how to fix it (Vanity)
I do check on Giorgio for grooming tips.
This is sick.
I DVR any program I might want to watch, so I can skip over the commercials entirely.
I haven’t watched television since April. Cancelled cable and watch exclusively Netflix now. I don’t miss it at all, and it’s stuff like this that makes me a little extra happy that I stopped watching TV proper.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Because they are curved and FR is straight...
Not sure why I bought a big honkin' 60 incher.
Smart things talk to each other. It can be kind of creepy. If I turn on my bluray player it says something to my TV and the TV switches to the right input. More odd if I switch to a different input on my TV the bluray pauses, and unpauses when I switch back. Thanks to bluetooth and wireless networking everything can talk to each other. And the genie ain’t going back in the bottle.
I think I’ll put my phone on the coffee table, tune to Univision and just let the battery run down. Llame Ya? Sorry, Senor, no habla.
Or DogTV.
;D
