Today I was talking about some clothes I had purchased for the kid for Christmas. (I had ordered these months ago from a company I order from all the time, no googling or online transaction required).

Randomly we end up talking about potential kids names, I mentioned I liked 'Tobias aka Toby' I mentioned something about Teddy, I wondered what name that was a nickname for?

I haven't googled the name or anything, literally popped in my head moments before discussion.

Come downstairs and look at my ipad- an ad popped up for 'Tobias & the bears' I think it's a children's wear brand.

I've had other scenarios like this, talking about coffee with colleagues and that particular brand (no Google searching, since the household brand is boring AF) as another example.

Do you think devices listen in to conversations?
