The aim of this paper is to argue that the evolution of the mass media is generally understood as the evolution of machines, ie, hardware changes aimed at criteria such as more pixels (on TV), less weight (on phones mobile) or more storage capacity (the emails). However, the article attempts to explore whether this is all it can be said about the evolution of the mass media. It assumes the existence of a variety of definitions of evolution in fields as diverse as social sciences, philosophy and even biology.
