Technology generation may lead to socioeconomic and environmental consequences by consuming resources, e.g., land, water, energy, human resources, in sending systems. Technology implementation, e.g., new irrigation methods, new vehicle batteries, may affect environmental and socioeconomic sustainability in receiving and spillover systems.
