My wife and I talk about the news on a daily basis.
Once, she had her tablet sitting next to her while we were discussing the situation in the ME. At one point, she unlocked the tablet, and opened Google only to find it had performed a search concerning the ME without her prompting it too.
Since then, we play music through a non-smart radio/CD/AUX player.
