Information Technology Rethought as Memory Extension: Toward an integral cogntive theory of memory and technology.

In this book, information technology is rethought as memory extension (extended memory technology), going beyond the common understanding of traditional information technology, which is based on memory-desynchronized data and documents. In the first chapters, the author discusses the basic idea of (language-based) technology in philosophy and IT. A universal cognitive memory process theory is introduced and developed into the idea of a memory-extending basic information technology. Some concrete prototype features are introduced to demonstrate practical applications of the theoretical work.
