Your voice as biometric data, and how marketers are using it to
manipulate you Only three decades ago, it was inconceivable that
virtually entire populations would be carrying around wireless
phones wherever they went, or that peoples' exact locations could
be tracked by those devices. We now take both for granted. Even
just a decade ago the idea that individuals' voices could be used
to identify and draw inferences about them as they shopped or
interacted with retailers seemed like something out of a science
fiction novel.Yet a new business sector is emerging to do exactly
that. The first in-depth examination of the voice intelligence
industry, The Voice Catchers exposes how artificial intelligence is
enabling personalized marketing and discrimination through voice
analysis. Amazon and Google have numerous patents pertaining to
voice profiling, and even now their smart speakers are extracting
and using voice prints for identification and more.Customer service
centers are already approaching every caller based on what they
conclude a caller's voice reveals about that person's emotions,
sentiments, and personality, often in real time. In fact, many
scientists believe that a person's weight, height, age, and race,
not to mention any illnesses they may have, can also be identified
from the sound of that individual's voice. Ultimately not only
marketers, but also politicians and governments, may use voice
profiling to infer personal characteristics for selfish interests
and not for the benefit of a citizen or of society as a
whole.Leading communications scholar Joseph Turow places the voice
intelligence industry in historical perspective, explores its
contemporary developments, and offers a clarion call for regulating
this rising surveillance regime.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
