Google Is Recording Everything We Say, Here Is How to Hear It, Delete It and Prevent It In the Future

We have seen things online time and time again about Google, Facebook, Apple, Samsung and more ‘recording’ our lives or keeping track of us through our phones. This is something that people love to talk about, but sadly, there is quite a bit of truth surrounding the rumors.

It seems Google may have records of your conversations some even from as far back as 2015! Apparently, Google silently records the conversations of those who use their products. This is allegedly a feature that was meant to work as a means for enabling people to search using their voice and through storing these things Google is able to improve the quality of its language recognition tools. Sounds fishy now, doesn’t it?

This is through their Voice & Audio Activity. You see, when we use the command option (where you say “Ok Google” and your phone searches something for you) our phones are recording this audio for seconds before we say “Ok Google” and shortly after. (Possibly longer, who knows at this point?) Audio can even be saved when your device is offline. That being said, we can manage the things saved.

Click here to see your recordings, play them back, and if you want; delete them. It doesn’t stop there though, click here to see your internet records. Crazy, isn’t it? We are being monitored on a very deep level. Sure, being able to search things with our voices is neat and convenient but the fact that we are being recorded is a bit nerve-wracking even if we aren’t saying or doing anything wrong in our daily lives.

If you want to prevent Google from recording you in the future turn off this option and keep it off. What did you find in your history? While my voice history was empty my search history went back pretty far. I hope this was useful to you and if you want any more information on this please feel free to check out the video below. What do you think about Google maintaining recordings of your conversations and other things of the sort?

10 Important Life Lessons We Can All Learn From Animals

Even after all the evolution and civilization that humans have gone through, I’m yet to be convinced. I don’t think we are nearly as great as animals. We might be smarter than them, and we also have the ability to talk, but we lack so many other things. And animals are experts in those areas that we can definitely take some enlightenment from.

Here are 10 important life lessons that humans can learn from animals:

1. You Should Always Be Loyal To The One You Love

The first thing on my bucket list is to buy a dog. Preferably a Labrador. The second thing on my bucket list is to buy a horse. Preferably a Gypsy. They’re both two of the five most loyal animals in the world. I’ve seen dogs that, after their master’s death, refuse to leave their grave. And horses can’t lay flat or fold their legs according to their nature. But in times of need for shelter or to assist their master, they have done so, no matter how uncomfortable it is.

This is the kind of loyalty I have yet to see in humans.

2. You Can Be Strong But Also Graceful

Ever seen Elephants? Yeah, me too.

3. Think A Hundred Times Before You Make A Decision

If you notice, a lion takes a few steps back every time, before jumping to catch its prey. These few steps symbolize caution and thoughtfulness. Take time before making any important decisions. Or you’ll lose even that what you’ve got.

4. Live In The Moment And Make The Most Of What You’ve Got

Monkeys are such iconic creatures. No matter where they are, or what they have, they manage to have fun. They’re so goofy and happy. They’re grateful for whatever nature provides them with and they make the most of it.

5. Animals Aren’t As Different As We Think They Are

Dolphins can call each other by their names. When an elephant is upset, the herd comes together to cheer it up. Parrots and monkeys can, at times, mimic. At times of danger, so many animals manage to camouflage themselves. And there’s so much more to the similarities that animals have with humans.

6. Persistence and Survival In The Face Of Hardship

Camels can store up food and water in their humps and then go without feeding for several days. Cockroaches can survive without their heads for about a week. Before turning into a butterfly, a caterpillar goes through tough conditions. When the eggs of a mother snake hatch, the mother snake sets out to eat the babies. Only one out of the thousand newborns survives because it is fast enough to escape in time.

7. Work and Plan In Silence, Let Success Make The Noise

Tigers are known to be eerily quiet when hunting for a prey. Lions hunt in packs but tigers prefer hunting alone. They don’t want to give their prey the notion that they’re coming for them and they are also more independent in their earnings.

8. Don’t Give Up Even When People Are Bringing You Down

Have you heard the story of the Mongolian King, Timur? Once he was in a battle where he faced defeat. Out of shame and fear, he ran away and hid in a cave, in the outskirts of his land. During his time in the cave, he noticed an ant. The ant was carrying a piece of grain much bigger than its size. As it was climbing the wall, the weight would make the ant topple and fall down. But the ant would get up and try again. This was a constant effort for the ant but Timur was impressed by how the ant refused to give up. Finally, the ant made it to the top.

Taking inspiration, Timur when back out and gathered his soldiers another time. This time, they fought with hope and eventually they won not one battle, but a series after.

9. Respect Your Elders

Most of the survival tactics for wild animals come from the inherent knowledge of their elders. Wild animals live in packs and families. They make the elders the leader and treat them with respect because they understand that they possess more experience and wisdom. Honestly, considering today’s human generation, animals are so much more dignified when it comes to behavior.

It’s easier to break a single stick but if you bundle it up with a few more, and try to break them all together, they won’t budge. That’s how animals are too. Lone animals get hunted on easily, but when they flock together, they take care of each other. Sheep have their herds, lions have their cliques and bees have their swarms. All animals have a team and most stick to that team. They know that it’s best to share and look after each other than be lonely and arrogant.

Reveal About Your Personality

This Is What Your Most Dominant Chakra Reveals About Your Personality

It is a belief of Indian descent that Chakras are seven centers of spiritual energy in a human body. These levels of energy determine our moods, personalities, thoughts, and behavior. It is considered prime to have all of these seven Chakras busy at equal rates, and not overpowering each other. But it takes years of meditation and focus to achieve a combination of that sort.

Yet, for the majority of people, one of these Chakras is most dominant. This Chakra thus defines our traits and character. Find out what your dominant Chakra says about you:

1. Spirituality

Or ‘Sahasara’ is the level of spiritual energy. If you find yourself thinking about the impermanence of the world a lot, it might be an indication that Spirituality is your most dominant Chakra. This means that you don’t usually mix with most crowds and you’re more of an introvert. Hence, you prefer being alone but it doesn’t make you feel lonely because you are your favorite company.

Usually, your thoughts revolve around why there are so much depression and destruction in this world. This search for a purpose and an answer consequently, makes you generous and grateful. What is valuable to you are not superficial things like money or luxuries, but love and care. You praise nature and it’s beauty. You only see the world as a temporal state of being.

2. Awareness

Being emotionally intelligent and having a wide perspective makes ‘Vishuddha’ your most dominant Chakra. To elaborate, this Chakra reveals that you are never impulsive. You take your time when making decisions. It is also not a surprise that you are very compassionate. You can feel what others are going through because your thoughts are able to go that far.

This Chakra is resided in the middle of your forehead and is commonly known as the ‘third eye.’ Thus it implies to comprehend things better. Having it as your most dominant energy level suggests that you are wise and a critical thinker. You also have great problem-solving skills.

3. Communication

Compliments o about eloquence and preciseness of your speech are probably usual. If you’ve noticed that you are always straightforward and never hold back from speaking your mind, ‘Ajna’ is thus, your most dominant Chakra.

Ajna is located at your throat, symbolizing the power of your speech. This suggests that you are an expert at communication. You speak fearlessly, but hold yourself accountable for whatever comes out of your mouth. The belief in the freedom of expression makes you very liberal and open to ideas that counter yours. This doesn’t imply that you change your mind when someone suggests differently, but you don’t shun it completely.

This also makes you a great leader, considering how much of an effect your speech can put onto people. It is wise to take advantage of to and move people, so that positivity is advocated and implemented.

4. Love/Healing

This center of power, called ‘Anahata’ is situated where your heart is. It signifies compassion and kindness. If you feel deeply for those that life has been very harsh too, it means that Anahata is your most dominant Chakra.

You treat people with immense kindness and feel that is your responsibility to help them heal. All of your relationships are strong because you are never out of love to give. Instead of criticizing someone for their shortcomings, you support them in their process of improvement. You are caring and kind, which also brings you a lot of respect in return.

5. Wisdom

Many tend to turn to you, looking for advice. This is because your most dominant Chakra is ‘Manipura.’Found at the core of your body, Manipura reveals that you possess a habit of self-reflection. Many a time, you put yourself away from external influences and just indulge in the vast, active sea of thought in your mind.

In everything you see or hear, you look for a logical explanation. When initiating friendships, you don’t form your liking on first impressions. Instead, you give people the space to prove themselves.

You are great at giving feedback because you can think better than others. Your mind is strong enough to take many things into consideration.

6. Sexuality/Creativity

Possessing the need to leave a name behind after you die, indicates that ‘Swadhisthana’ is your most dominant Chakra. This energy level lies under your navel, symbolizing sensuality and creativity.

You allow your passion to reveal itself in the form of art. It can be anything, from visual to auditory. Whether it’s music or drama, you aren’t afraid of expressing yourself to an audience. You are rebellious in your work and are always coming up with something new or different. Most of your viewers condemn you for your boldness but you couldn’t care less. You know that your work is honest and beautiful and you never let them kill your spirit.

7. Trust

Many call you naive because you don’t take long to develop trust in others. You are faithful even when life is blatantly telling you not to be. Being like this shows that ‘Mooladhara’ is your most dominant Chakra, which lies at the lowest level of your body. This level makes you extremely loyal to the people you look up to. It also makes you vulnerable because it is so easy for them to take advantage of you.

On the contrary, you are also just as trustworthy. Other people can count on you to take care of their most precious possessions. They know that they can confide their secrets to you and you won’t ever spill. A personality like yours is rare in this materialistic world. You would die but never let someone’s confidence in you break.
