[EAS] Humans thwart disaster alerts - - URL

[Dave Kline]

Seems like it really boils down to what a user WANTS.
People never seem to know what they NEED until that exact point when they actually NEED it.
For that matter, most of us have trouble knowing what we WANT let alone what we NEED.

We NEED a radio so the ads can tell us what we WANT and make it sound like what we NEED.

If a user WANTS FM radio and Apple won't give it, then they NEED a different phone.

But for the most part people are just idiots when it comes to alerting.
They shut the stuff off. What are we supposed to do then?

We can bring water to the horse but what the horse does with it up to the horse.
