The images continues to be set and embedded. It has been incorporated into everyday society so much that the mirror reflection has been displayed in commercials. It is an ongoing challenge to watch commericals that include technology and have women of color positioned in subordinate positions around the technology and never with their hands on it completing any tasks. Today, the commerical
