It has been incorporated into everyday society so much that the mirror reflection has been displayed in commercials.

Today, the commerical http://www.digital-sistas.org/weblog/2003_07_01_archives.html#105944103369428006noreply@blogger.com (digitalsista)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551519.post-105934083143432311Sun, 27 Jul 2003 21:20:00 +00002003-07-27T16:20:31.460-05:00The ITAA has recently sent out a report that African American women are decreasing in their interest and participation in technology while Latina and Asian women have increased.
