Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework by Doublas C. Engelbart. | |
(http://www.dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html0) | |
By "augmenting human intellect" we mean: | |
- increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, | |
- to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, | |
- and to derive solutions to problems. | |
The first phase of a program aimed at developing means to augment the human intellect. | |
The ways in which human capabilities are thus extended are here called augmentation means: | |
- Artifacts--physical objects designed to provide for human comfort, for the manipulation of things or materials, and for the manipulation of symbol. | |
- Language--the way in which the individual parcels out the picture of his world into the concepts that his mind uses to model that world, and the symbols that he attaches to those concepts and uses in consciously manipulating the concepts ("thinking"). | |
- Methodology--the methods, procedures, strategies, etc., with which an individual organizes his goal-centered (problem-solving) activity. | |
- Training--the conditioning needed by the human being to bring his skills in using Means 1, 2, and 3 to the point where they are operationally effective. | |
