"Evocative Objects" - Washington Post 8/23/07 - my mind on books

Written on August 23, 2007

“The Objects of Our Desire”, an article in today’s Washington Post discusses the new book
Evocative Objects: Things We Think With, edited by Sherry Turkle, director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self. Evocative Objects is the first of a planned three-book series on technology and self.

See also Andy Clark, Natural-Born Cyborgs: Minds, Technologies, and the Future of Human Intelligence, suggesting humans are “beings primed by Mother Nature to annex wave upon wave of external elements and structures as part and parcel of their own extended minds.” (p. 31)
