Media experimented with touch
screens at last year’s Farm Show
and the response was overwhelm
ingly favorable.
“The kiosks with our touch
screens are very user friendly,”
Shank suggests. “Everyone’s a
winner in this the people
receive directions and other infor
mation quickly, advertisers get
their message out to a huge audi
ence and the Farm Show benefits
from improved traffic flow.”
The agreement with McDo
nald’s is the result of an intense,
ongoing effort by Purpose Media
to meet the needs of the Farm
Show and to educate advertisers
and consumers about interactive
multi-media (a combination of
state-of-the-art computer and
touch screen technology). Purpose
Media is the only company in the
region working with advanced,
interactive, multi-media and the
1993 Farm Show is yet another
opportunity to showcase the tech
nology on a grand scale.
Purpose Media, headquartered
at 730 South 10th Street, Harris
burg was founded in 1982. In
addition to its corporate headquar
ters, Purpose Media maintains an
office in Morgantown, Pennsylva
nia, headed by Vice-President,
Lynn Burkholder.
Worm Probes Are
Electrocution Hazard
WASHINGTON, D.C. A
“worm probe,” a product that uses
electrical current to shock earth
worms to the soil surface to be
gathered for fishing, could be fatal
to users and passers-by.
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safely Commission (CPSC) said
that worm probes use full-line vol
tage -110 to 120 volts - and pose
an electrocution hazard to those
who use them or stand nearby.
CPSC urges owners of the probes
to discontinue use immediately
and to destroy the products.
The commission is aware of at
least 28 deaths involving function
ally identical worm probes. Most
~of the fatalities were children.
Most of the probes have no
identifying marks. CPSC urges
consumers to stop using the worm
probes immediately and destroy
them.
