11 replies
maynardNew MemberOPi have a gmail account that i pretty much never use. i logged onto it today and i see these google calendar reminders.
in these reminders are things like when a couple of bills are due, when i took a trip to vermont, when my friends engagement party was and some other stuff. i have no idea how this stuff got entered in
i dont see any option to email google and ask them how they got this information
what is going on here? how did they know?

anlgpNew Membergoogle uses your information and collects it.
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Ever get any e-mails with that information in it?

pennphinfanforum_veterangoogle searches your emails as they come in. Ever look at the ads on top of the screen in gmail? They are always related to the content of a recent email or a recent google search. Also, if there is something in an email that looks like an event, it'll say on the side something to the effect of "would you like to add this to your calendar?" things like that. it's kinda scary what they've developed there
