Case Study 5.3: Using Technology to Add Meaning<br />
During a hurricane watch, a local television broadcast features a dramatic satellite image from a<br />
hurricane that hit the area 2 years ago. The broadcaster announces that the footage is 2 years<br />
old and explains that he is using it to underscore the importance of taking protective action.<br />
Residents of a nursing and rehabilitation home view the broadcast. Some of the residents do<br />
not hear the announcer’s explanation and assume that the footage is current. This creates<br />
stress and misunderstanding among the residents.<br />
If you were in control of the broadcast, how could you have used technology differently to avoid<br />
this misunderstanding?<br />
