I have at least twice had advertisements displayed to me that appear to be targeted only based on conversations that I have had.

Last week we were in the car discussing a movie but couldn’t remember the title. When we went to google the name the VERY SPECIFIC search term was already listed in the google search bar. I am the paranoid in the family but my husband couldn’t believe his eyes.

Not long ago I was in a retail store discussing a particular product with someone. I had never bought, searched for, or even considered using it before. Less than a day later an advertisement for that particular brand name popped up on my smart phone.
