Cultural Artifacts

This one boggled me for a while, as I wasn't sure what to use as the cultural artifact that would pertain to this. After much thought, I finally decided on the "Work Cell Phone" and the "Work Laptop". While these two may seem common place items in everyday life, they are an essential part of this study for the following reasons:
I. The Job is working on maintaining cell towers
II. The Service Technician relies on both items to communicate with the Office in Orlando, the call center and the clients.

As to the first, being a cell phone and having a laptop that runs internet on a data card which gains access to the internet via the cell tower and the work performed keeps the radio equipment running smoothly so that the cell tower can transmit signals.
As to the second, without these two items there would be no communication as to which towers need service.
