Reading Energy through Technology

Hmm, this may seem like an odd question, but for some reason I feel I should ask.

Who here is able to, or believes it is possible, or has known someone else to read and manipulate energy directly through and from things like:

The internet. (eg - chat rooms, forums, email, websites)

Telephones and media in general (eg - video calls, television, video games)

Books (eg - any kind of book, factual, fictional or other)

The reason I am asking this is uncertain, but I think it may simply be to see how and if many people utilize old and new technology in psychic and spiritual ways to effect others or themselves.

I have heard many people think it is not possible, so I am interested as to why or why not that is so as well.
