Gadgets & Gizmos: Google Nest helps you sleep while virtual offices help you work
Steve Caplin, Share Radio's technology editor, is a little nervous of the idea that Google Nest can use radar to track your sleeping patterns. He is impressed by Microsoft's AR meeting technology and Teamflow's virtual office. For those dreading Zoom meetings, Zoomescaper has the answer. He also highlights Wombo, which amusingly animates still photographs, technology to detect deep fakes, electric charging pads for spongy wooden flooring, a portable wind turbine and a 2000-year-old computer.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: One year on from the market low
One year on from the market lows of March 2020, Russ Mould, Inestment Director of A J Bell, looks at what has done best - and what has done worst - in the 12 months since. In retrospect, he points out, what seemed to be the safest areas when everything was bleakest turned out to be the most dangerous. Explaining why first Asian and then Emerging Markets have done well, he says that, within the UK, the sectors that have performed best have been oil and financials.
