I wonder how this "voice recognition" could work when it comes to passwords and security !! 

What with folks controlling there home infrastructure and rather a lot of there "Life"  with there computer / smart phone /tablets plus all this voice command stuff, it strikes me there should be some thought into  "if everything " being integrated is such a good thing ? 

Im constantly aware how much caution and effort is needed just to avoid scams without getting involved in much of the above!!

Sadly the vast majority of us like access to everything! There’s a price to pay for this accessibility.

I don't think for a minute google had anything to do with your add appearing..  phones listening to people is nonsense..

 

Its just a simple case of coincidence...  nothing more..   but it begs the question I first raised.. what sort of coincidence..  random or cosmic..   I'd suggest the latter..

If you truly believe that,  then you have no idea what current technology is up to.  Anyone here have a Huawei phone? Everything you say, type,  look at,  and hear is being recorded not only in your good old British data centres, but also the Chinese ones. 

 

A decade ago people would just laugh at the suggestion that everyone's phone calls were being monitored... even though they were... and still are... but to a much more invasive extent.

I don't believe a word of that..   its like that hacker who was jailed and the prosecution told the judge he should be kept from even using the phone such was his skills in breaking into computer systems..  

 

Truth is it takes a lot more than picking up the phone to get onto the internets, but such is the fear and ignorance that conspiracies can easily take off in the public consciousness.. listening phones is just one more conspiracy going around..   

 

No evidence that they do listen, and even if they could which I doubt, theres the why.. and why has no one in the industry grassed em up after being sacked or suffered  a grievance..
