It’s a convenient solution to phone security and for authorizing certain payments through Google Pay, but it’s not a perfect technology.

If you’re a busy person, you probably already love audiobooks. You can listen to them on your commute to work, in your car or on a train. You can listen to them while doing various hobbies, like knitting or painting. If you do data entry at work, they can make the monotony a little more bearable. And you can listen to them while you exercise or walk around.
