Navigating Technomedia

I wasn't entirely confident in what this article was attempting to present.  I thought the first couple pages was going in one directions, then it turning into a history lesson.  However, I was able to grasp a couple interesting points from this article. I thought this article made clear that technomedia is not tied down to a corresponding technology, but rather it has multiple, multitasking and interconnected capability.  The article specifically identifies the Internet, and is a great example of it "has become a progressively more inclusive media technology, one in which technological developments of past and future somehow incorporate one another".  I am hypothesizing that the point of this article is to ask or find how and what our new technomedia is being used for...but I still feel that is not the purpose of this article.  Although I don't really understand the point of this article, I realize that the importance of technological advances is becoming a global necessity (or want) as expressed by the President of Senegal.
