Public fear is instrumental in the adoption of a great technology. The public and the media can quickly spread inaccurate, unfounded information and create more apprehension, ignorance, and trepidation to the use of that technology. With more knowledge about the positive and negative aspects of the technology, and an unbiased presentation of that information, will decrease a public hysteria and eventually cause the technology’s incorporation to be faster and smoother.

Positive Impacts on Horticulture
2. New technologies may open horticulture to new markets.

The introduction of new markets seems to be most realistic, and likely thing to happen, and it would have the largest impact worldwide when it does.
