NT supports new and easy solutions to many problems in agricultural, food processing, renewable energy, and healthcare sectors and removes many existing jobs through improved and automated technology used in manufacturing and service sectors which contribute to loss of manufacturing and agricultural jobs. Such mass loss of jobs in primary and secondary sectors creates social inequalities. NT will enable micro supercomputers on a very small scale, detection of minute amounts of substances, rapid analysis of genomes, and implantation of microchips into humans may lead to a darker side of violation of privacy. Though NT supports surveillance using nano‐sensors extremely small cameras, people be afraid of the security and privacy of individuals by tracking their location and their instantaneous behavior. Such a negative perception of NT in society may result in questionable marketing decisions and hindrance in the speed of technology acceptance.
