While reading the long read Smart talking: are our devices threatening our privacy? It really made me think more than I already did. For example how many times have you talked about a store with someone or searched an item online then next thing you know you see ads on your Instagram about the item. I know this has happened to me way to many times then I start to really freak out.
The companies admit that the devices have microphones built in so yes they listen to us, but only when they hear keywords. They think that if we aren't doing anything wrong then we shouldn't worry. Although a lot of us do because it is an invasion of privacy. We shouldn't have to worry about those things because then we just worry about our personal information getting leaked or our devices being hacked.
Personally I feel that this feature is just bad for the companies because we are the ones that keep them in business so if we don't trust them then we won't really want to buy their products. Have you experienced you device listening to you? If so what was the situation and were you freaked out?

My mom has a story regarding what this post is about. She said she was talking about how yellow she thinks her teeth are and what are ways she can make them white. An add not too long after she said that offered a device that will whiten your teeth in a few minutes. I honestly think that everything I say and do online is being monitored by a secret agent who's waiting for me to type in something suspicious.
