Somehow I connect these two concepts.
Let's see distributed cognition first.
After 3 weeks' reading, I guess now we all agree that:
1. it is a cognition process distributing between individuals & groups
2. cognition process connect internal (human) and external (invironment, including tools, aids to enhance cognition)
3. cognition across time & space. (prolong cognition)
Cloud computing:
The unitary definition has not come out yet, because its meaning and application still in evolution.
From a "hard" point, numerous computers / servers connected via the Internet (wifi, satellite) to form a super power
From a "soft" point, this super power handles numerous simutaneous requesting, filtering and outputing.
Do you see that this cloud computing fit cognition in all three of its features? It allows communication and cognition between individuals + groups + environment + time.

OK,
ReplyDeleteAs to your comments on distributed cognition.
1. yes, agree
2. yes, agree
3. yes, agree
And certainly I can see and agree that the cloud computing parallels the distributed cognition in the exact ways in which you mention. I think this elaboration helps me greatly.
