Yeah, or dad will get Durex & Pampers ads.

"Target used modeling and data analytics to identify women as being pregnant before those same women tell their closest friends and family members."

>> Target

Be skeptical of these stories.

In my work as a historian, I would consider this definitely unproven. I sent this to Seth Godin who asked Charles Duhig who said he takes to a Target executive who said it happened. Again, as a historian, that would not be sufficient for me to assert this


This is one of the main differences between a historian and a journalist.
