There was a pretty good essay in the German computer magazine c't sometime in the early 2000nds, were the author argued that a computer is a meta-medium, that is a computer can emulate almost arbitrary types of media. A computer can work as a TV or as a game console or as a textual medium. From this point of view, it is no longer the case that there is an inherent selection algorithm that is generated by what works well in the medium, for example a game show just would not work as a news paper article, but that one can decide which advantages and disadvantages a computer has. And so it is more or less the first time, that one can decide which selection algorithm is the relevant one.
