He was talking about smart TV's, all the new gadgets, the things whatever they are where you can say order me a pizza and it does. Sorry I'm not tech savvy and will never have one.

Anyways he said they conducted an experiment about facebook because of the privacy concerns. They bought a brand new laptop with all the bells and whistles. Went home hooked it up and set it up and then set up a facebook account and that's it, nothing else was done.

They closed the lid on the laptop and just carried on a normal evening conversation, spaghetti for dinner, golf the next day, new shoes for the kids, whatever.

The next morning the fired the laptop up and got on facebook and low and behold there were ads for...... you guessed it.... spaghetti sauce and pasta, shoes, golf clubs etc.

He said the computer was not touched other than setting it up and closing the top.


You tell me ??????

facebook is an absolute data mine  that's what it does... but this isn't Minority report yet.
