Furthermore, societal acceptance of drones is difficult and is
probably shaped by media portrayals. The effect of culture
should also not be underestimated as our results indicate that
users from developing countries were much more appreciative
of the concept. In this context, technologies widely used
both in developing and developed countries, have often been
initially met with skepticism both by investors, decision makers,
and end-users. Hence, more recent technologies have
come to work in parallel with outdated ones - for example
the first iPhone only had substantial sales after a $200 price
cut [22]. So, while public skepticism of using drone for civilian
application is a fact, the investigation of such concepts
can nonetheless prove beneficial to the public in the longer
perspective.
