Ali Baba's cell phone and cave

We've seen it in countless spy movies and now, finally, it's coming to our phones. It's the unlock by voiceGoogle has been the first to implement it in some of its phones and it could soon reach the general market.

The option, available in Android's own settings, is called “Trusted voice” and allows you to verify the unlocking of a phone by means of the word. In fact, of two: “Ok, Google”. Like the password to Ali Baba’s cave, by saying this simple phrase we can freely access all the features of our phone, which for many is much more than the greatest of treasures.

In fact, making this task of accessing the phone easier is an area of development for many manufacturers and recently Google has also presented a system to be able to do it automatically when we carry it in our hand, in our pocket or leave it on the table. Formulas that, while offering the user less security and protection of data that the rest of the systems do nothing more than allow much faster access to our phone and increase the already often unnecessary queries that we make. And that is,We look at our phones an average of 150 times a day!

In any case, beyond being a good marketing strategy (Nor should we fool ourselves with that), let no one be scared anymore when they hear the phrase “Ok, Google” in the most unlikely situations, someone will have opened the doors of their mobile cave.
