Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow.
Keet was riding the bus and saw a man wearing a new pair of shoes from his favorite brand. When he got home, he went online and found them in black at an online store, Zaps. They were pretty expensive, so he decided to post a picture of them on his social media account to see what his friends would think.
The next day, he started seeing ads for the exact shoes and for the online store he had visited. He saw the ads appear when he typed in a search, when he went to his favorite news site, and when he was scrolling through his social media feed. At first he thought it might've just been a coincidence, but when it kept happening, he started to wonder, why am I seeing this everywhere?
