In these high-tension economic times, it pays to be canny. That is, after all, why you're surfing this fine website in search of cost-effective gadgetry rather than traipsing up and down the high street. So when it comes to putting a little something away for the future - and assuming one doesn't like the look of Northern Rock - there's no finer nor more sound place than in a good old fashioned 21st Century safe.

You see, with one's bog standard, common-or-garden safe, there's very little in the way of, how shall we say, interaction with said safe. A twist of a rather mundane combination lock is as interactive as it gets. And then of course you run the risk of someone figuring out your combo (even though you've written it as surreptitiously as you could on the back of your hand.

But now it's 2010 and there's a new sheriff in town. The Voice Recognition Lock N Safe, is a cut above one's average cash-starved safe. It allows one to house their pennies (and other valuables) inside a structure that can be opened by a 4-digit pin code or a voice recognition password (or both). Allowing you access to the all important cash to spend on this website (or, should you be silly, somewhere else).

The Voice Recognition Lock 'n' Safe is simply speaking, a hi-tech piggy bank. And for that we should all give thanks.
