You might not have connected to the internet, but did your laptop? It doesn't even necessarily have to be a full handshake, just ping out an 'I'm here' message. I've generally concluded it's impossible to know what any tool on my PC is doing unless I built it myself (and as I think that's too much like hard work I should be paid for...)
Friends' son starts new job as a 'data scientist' next week, can't wait to hear what scarily invasive analysis of daily life he's actually doing.
