Here's an item from about a week ago. My next door neighbor (a real tech-head) and his business partner were holding a conversation in the car on while driving back back from a meeting together. At some point, my neighbor mentioned that he was thinking about investigating the Peloton bicycle. He claims the conversation happened so early in his Peloton-consideration process that he'd never done
any sort of search on the product, anywhere or at any time. And yet, upon returning home and using his laptop to get onto the internet, they they were: targeted Peloton ads, already waiting for him. And this only about a half-hour after the first time he'd ever even mentioned the product. He'd long suspected his phone was listening ... now he's convinced.
