1. People do not want to use newer technology.
2. The cost is so high that they cannot afford to use new technology.
3. There is often a lack of qualified people to carry out routine maintenance for the technological systems.
4. Technology is too complex for people in lesser-developed countries.

It is not generally a lack of desire that is a barrier to use of the new technological systems, but the lack of knowledge about them.
