Amber: Outline notifications are useful, but they can be disruptive.
When a child gets lost in your neighborhood, you are more likely to get an Amber warning on your smartphone. These warnings are useful as they spread important information within the community and increase the chances of finding a lost person. However, they can be frustrating at times, especially if you get one at three in the morning or during a business meeting.
