Yesterday, another fellow and I were playing tennis. I had my cellphone in an outer pocket of my tennis bag and the bag was hung on the fence right near the folding chair I sit in at breaks in the tennis. While talking to my fellow player, I said something about a city in Virginia. Later that night, while on my PC, I was rather startled to see an ad for condos in that exact city which is quite far away and not somewhere I'd even think of living in. But things like this have happened before and it is rather an uneasy feeling that your phone and PC are like spy microphones or "bugs" listening to and watching you even when you've forgotten they're nearby or turned on.

I'm going to have to wrap up my cellphone and stow it deep inside the tennis bag from now on. I didn't know it could "hear" that well.
