Complete and utter drivel as you have just proved with
what you said about getting ads on utube or facebook
when you have discussed something with someone
in person. That doesn't happen with an iphone

I did get that when using the google search engine,
but that is because of the search text I used, not
because it listens to what I say to anyone and I
don't get that anymore now that I use grok instead
of the google search engine because its givens what
I want and I don't have to wade thru useless hits

BULLSHIT

They are getting that result from google searches
after they have done that after discussing something
with someone else either in person or by phone

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person but it's damn near impossible to win
an argument with a stupid person

When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. 
The pain is felt by others.

The same thing happens when you're stupid
