Based on his elaboration, he manages to illustrate the general fact that the use of the media is based on the integration of cultural artifacts as a way of getting the individuals to have a larger impact on individuals when addressing them, or as a way of ensuring that their messages reach and influence the public.

Based on these perspectives, it is important to illustrate the general power of technology and how it can serve to affect the society. This is because technology has become a part of life, and since it is a part of life it can command or control society in general.
