(2003-12-02) Udell Clark Outboard Brain

Jon Udell on Andy Clark's perspective on Augmenting Human Intellect. Ever since the advent of language, and especially since the advent of print, our minds have operated in a hybrid mode, depending on a complex interaction between information processes running inside the skull and information processes running outside it. This is now our natural state, argues Clark, and it is not really meaningful or useful to try to precisely define the inside/outside boundary.
