Through the in dept evaluation of shrines over the semester in Techno Comfort a look at an emotional object as a space rather than a physical object has been conducted. While much of the same theory can be applied to both, spaces have a lot more variance especially between religions and cultures around the world and therefore previous theories will spark different emotions between these cultures. When applying this to the modern day world, technology needs to be taken into account. This has not only changed the ways in which objects can be designed and produced but has changed the roll of the designer and allowed who was previously the user to become much more involved.

This has been highlighted through the survey conducted which notes multiple participants looking at social media as an online shrine; a digital space to worship and highlight whatever they want.
