The technological 'exposure' of populations; characterisation and future reduction 2020-05-25 .txt text/plain 9151 424 41 The analysis of population exposure of a broad spectrum of needs showed that it was possible to identify some high exposure technological fields, specifically complex components, complex artificial substances, finance, communications, energy and information, These are considered more fully as follows; Although the feasibility of internet communications can be attributed to open source protocols, the practicality of current connectivity has been J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f largely enabled by the very large data rates possible via fibre-optic cables, yet this capacity has also introduced a high level of exposure for both individuals and populations. Considering the high-exposure technological fields that were identified earlier, generalised approaches to reducing the accrued actual exposure include standardisation of specifications that allow competitive supply of complex components and complex substances, avoiding the large exposure of some contributory systems, retention of genuine alternatives (e.g. cash/gold as well as electronic transactions). ./cache/cord-349581-o320ogmg.txt ./txt/cord-349581-o320ogmg.txt
