Podcast episode (26 minutes) where Evgeny Morozov examines the work of Warren Brody (a psychoanalyst) and Avery Johnson, who developed an alternative vision of human-computer interaction in the 1960s. While their contemporaries pursued "human augmentation" - creating human-computer systems to maximize productivity - Brody and Johnson advocated for "human enhancement," using technology to help people develop richer perceptions and creative capabilities. They argued that information quantity doesn't equate to learning, emphasizing instead how context shapes interpretation.
