Josh, a Marine, noticed that his audience did not seem enthusiastic during his speech on the uses of infrared technology for military applications and for mapping the earth's temperature. Glancing at his laser pointer, Josh suddenly realized his mistake, and he asked, "How many of you changed the channel on TV last night without walking across the room? Did you realize you were using infrared technology?" What is the best reason for Josh to add this example during his speech?

The example would show how infrared technology is relevant to everyday life.

Explanation:

When Josh was showing the use of infrared technology as a device used in scientific and military analysis, the public could become discouraged and stop paying attention to the lecture, as it seemed that this type of technology was irrelevant to them. For this reason, Josh decided to show that infrared technology is more common than it appears, presenting an example that all members of the public knew. In this way, Josh brings the audience closer to the subject presented, arouses interest and shows relevance.
