Abstract
In this paper we propose the application of evolutionary principles in studying technological devices and processes. First we introduce the concepts of Darwinian evolution, which we use to draw an analogy with technology and show how human-made devices can be treated as evolving artificial agents. After explaining the methodology of reconstructing evolutionary history, we apply successfully the delineated principles and methodology to an infocommunication system: cellphones. By modeling a possible phylogenetic tree of mobile phones and exploring technological changes through time, we are able to show evolutionary trends and parallels with biological processes.
