Listening Smart-Phone - Samsung
Discussion
OK, bear with me with this as it was quite odd and in my mind far from a coincidence
Sitting in Dirty Dicks yesterday lunchtine talking to my mrs. and the thought of getting a turntable came into head and I asked if Richer Sounds was still nearby. I comically said "Yeah, I need to get a gramophone". This needed a bit of explaining and I described the Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch.
A little while passed and something popped into my head about the new Guy Richie film, so looked up the trailer.
The first thing under the Operation Fortune trailer was the hi-fi shop sketch. I showed my wife and was a bit of a
moment.
Now bearing in mind my phone was in my jacket and not touched until I searched for the film trailer.
Thought about it after and thinking about Shazam technology (witchcraft app if you don't know what it is), it really isn't that hard to figure out.
I used all the names, NOT9ON, hifi-shop and gramophone. Not then difficult to work out the sketch. But I didn't ask Youtube to find it for me, it just did.
The algorithms work well finding new music, but finding stuff I've mentioned in conversation?
There was talk about Samsung tellies listening to people, so are the phones too?
So what else is my phone listening to?
Cool starry bra and all that, but it was just so odd. Surely not coincidental.
Anybody else had this? Is SkyNet starting?
Richer Sounds had closed down by the way.
