Yup, many people have noticed this behavior.  And it is creepy, very creepy.
My cell phone sleeps in the kitchen, not my bedroom.

This is the truth! Although I think it is related to browsing habits and
possibly in store visits, which of course is mirrored in conversation, or
conversation which leads to action.

In my case, I do not own a smart phone, so these things are very alien to
me. In addition, my phone automatically is turned off at 23:00 every day
and is turned on at 09:05 when I open my office.

That way I only need to charge my phone every 1-2 weeks during work times,
and every 2-3 weeks during holidays! =)

I don't need a cellphone (smart or not) for /that/ to happen.

Just visiting Amazon or even using Bing is enough to produce endless
ads about whatever I was looking at/asking for. As I'm sure everyone
is aware.

But at least /something/ is listening to her. Arlo, clearly, is not.
