How can sound be used to influence our spending behaviour and boost companies' profits? Sarah Stolarz finds out how retailers are subconsciously speaking to us using computer-generated soundscapes. Could the humble voice be the technology of the future? We road-test the latest voice-activated technologies from a lovely personal assistant called Nina to a car you can talk to. And we ask whether the chore of remembering passwords and answering annoying security questions could soon be a thing of the past. (Photo: Shutterstock)
