An excellent poem, Carlo. Yes we are certainly being monitored, not just by our phones, but by our laptops, tablets etc. as well. My spouse and I may just be discussing something verbally while sitting at the iPad or computer ...never did a search otr typed anything about the subject we have been talking about. The next thing you know we are being inundated with ads about that very thing.

I rarely use my phone, only when I leave the house, and then take it in a bag. I know it can track my location, but that is all it should be able to do, because I won't look at it unless I get a call or have to make one.
