1. Who lives with you
The dirt in your home reveals whether there are more people living in the household. We don’t talk just about unwashed dishes, clutter, dust, or dirty clothes left around the house (the more people live in a dwelling, the more likely it is for the place to be messy).
In fact, according to some studies, scientists have discovered that men and women shed different types of bacteria. By examining the fungi found around your house, especially in the dust, experts can also predict where you live, down to a range of around 190 miles.
2. What you watch on TV
What you like to watch on TV is also among the things your house reveals about you. Smart TVs are great because they provide internet connectivity and support for a wide range of apps.
But did you know that modern models can collect data on everything you are watching and sell it to advertisers? In other words, your TV provider is very aware of your favorite channels and TV shows, and they can pass this information on to advertising companies. Many smart TVs are set up to collect your data by default.
The good news is that you can choose to keep this information private. All you have to do is go to your device settings and turn off data sharing. That’s it. The things that your house reveals about you become private.
