Technology Some Good Some Bad

If it wasn't for technology this world would not be where it is today. Everyone knows that, I am sure. Nothing new to you or anyone else.
Most technology is good but I am starting to believe that there is some that needs to go.
A private conversation between my wife and I the other day has proven to me that all is not good.
We have a dog, half German Shepard and Half Great Pyrenese. Needless to say she is a big dog and is now around 10 years old.
She is a big baby and stays in the house. If my wife or I am gone she sits in our chair and waits for us to come home. Won't eat or anything till we get back.

Now I'll get back to my point that I was starting to make.
Pupcake (the grandkids named her when watching Strawberry Shortcake) has been limping on her right rear foot. I have dug around and can't find anything wrong with it.
My wife and I were talking and I told her that I am afraid it is her hip or joints. This conversation was in our house. I have not looked for products to help her online. I have not done any searches on the problem or products that might help. Nothing has been discussed over the phone with anyone about this.
Since that conversation, every time I get on my phone and go to a website or get on my computer and go to a website I am bombarded with ads about a product for dogs with hip pain or arthritis.
Needless to say, I am contemplating getting rid of every product in this house.
It is a shame that two people can't talk to each other in the privacy of their own home without someone being able to listen in. Most people will say I am crazy but that is the only possible way that anyone or any website could know what we discussed that day.
Just a fluke? I don't really think so because of the all of the ads that I have seen since then.
Honestly I wouldn't have believed this story if it wasn't my own. My son has told me someone is always able to listen in whenever they want to through phone, televisions or computers. I thought about it but didn't really believe it till now.
Would be glad to see you thoughts and comments on what you have seen regarding this.
