Ultimately, I will explore how we can use our machines and digital media to create an informed and socially conscious form of mind- extension. The root ideas are not my original creations. Rather, by linking together the work of media historians, cognitive psychologists, and computer visionaries, I hope to provide a framework to guide our future use of machines-to-think-with.
