I'm writing an essay on how technology has affected our lives and I would like to know if I can say "Technology has a word to say when it comes to communication". for example.

What I would like to say is that technology has an impact but I'm not sure if it is right.. Thank you in advance

Yes, you can say that, if the intent is that technology has an impact on or addresses issues related to communication.

You can!

Somebody/thing has a word to say is a way of telling that there's broadly a role of somebody/thing in that or if it is some person, s/he wants to tell us something.

However, I observe that it is used more in negation such as Nobody found a word to say or No history has a word to say.

Clearly, in all these examples, we are not talking about one particular word but talking in general that they have/don't have something/anything to say.

I use it often in conferences and meetings.

Before we begin the session, our CEO has a word to say.

Of course, CEO would speak more than a word! :)
