Abstract
Technology will transform conventional method s of risk com- mWlication by enabling delivery of dynamic warnings in situa- tions when and where they are needed . Future warnings will involve computer control, flat-panel displays, electroni c paper , wireless transmission , multiple sensors , and connection with the Internet, among other methods. This chapter describes is- sues supporting the use of technology in the control and display of warnings . One benefit is the potential of personalized pec- ceprual and cognitive support tailored to fit individual needs. Qi allenges , such as barriers to technological implementation, are described . Implications, c:x:am.ples , and future prospects of warnings are presented.
