The song was featured in an iPod advertisement shown in the summer of 2005. It was also featured in an ad for the Motorola E398 mobile-phone, aired in early 2005 in Brazil. Additionally, the song was featured in an episode of The O.C.. Recently it is used in the 2009 Lincoln MKS commercial, and in a series of TV ads for the Alfa Romeo MiTo. It is a playable track on the iPhone OS games Tap Tap Revenge and Tap Tap Dance. In an episode of the tv-show America's Best Dance Crew, crew Kaba Modern performed to a master-mix of this song on February 7, 2008.
The song features an electronically transposed voice chanting technological commands. For example, "Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag and drop it, zip, unzip it" are spoken in rhythm to a beat.
A portion of the vocals were altered and used in the Busta Rhymes single "Touch It", produced by Swizz Beatz. In a remix of "Touch It" the lines touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it, turn it, leave it, start, format it were sung by rap artist Missy Elliott. Additionally, the music video for "Touch It" shows a group of young cheerleaders doing a routine while chanting the same line.
Elements of both "Technologic" and "Touch It" are featured in Daft Punk's live album Alive 2007. The repeated line "Fuck it" (a combination of fill and lock it) was also integrated in the Alive 2007 tour, beginning in Daft Punk's live show at Bercy in Paris.

The lyrics to Daft Punk's song "Technologic" list a series of action words related to technology. The verses repeat primary words and follow them with secondary words, such as "buy it, use it, break it, fix it." These action words suggest the cycle of consumer technology, where people purchase new technology, use it until it breaks, then fix or replace it. The line "drag and drop it, zip, unzip it" refers to the process of managing digital files, indicating the song's focus on consumer technology.
As the song progresses, the words become more abstract and less concrete with the repetition of the phrase "technologic." By using this nonspecific word, Daft Punk highlights the ubiquity of technology in our lives. The bridge of the song introduces a new set of phrases, such as "touch it, scroll it, pose it, click it" and "cross it, crack it, twitch, update it," which suggest the physical interaction people have with their devices.
Overall, "Technologic" is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the role of technology in our daily lives, pointing out both the convenience and dependence on it.
