Researchers "embody" technology, boosting his/her experience: scientific images are obtained after technological mediation between researchers sensorial apparatus (perception) and the object of study [ 4].
Cybercartographic atlases are described as social products, fed by society in their development, and once embodied in technological prototypes, as entities that may impact the social context in which they are inserted.
In addition, human beings are unlike baboons in being able to design bicycles, which have thousands of integrated parts and embody technological knowledge of huge complexity.

By applying main path analysis to a network containing 34,083 patents, 155,076 citations, and 9,213 missing links designed to simulate direct citations, this study further finds that the missing links—accounting for only approximately 5% of all connections identify patents embodying contemporaneous technological developments, which may evade detection if only direct citations are considered.
This technique, entitled "two-hybrid" or "interaction trap", enables not only the identification of interacting partners but also the characterization of known interaction couples and even embodies the technological means to manipulate protein-protein interactions.
According to Shane (2000), the entrepreneurial skill comprises with the technological embodied knowledge.
That revolution is, of course, the technological upheaval embodied by the Internet.
