Cyborg Mind Monkeys

I mentioned the “monkey brains” idea about 3 years ago at Intranets 2001. In fact, the title of my talk was Flamethrowers and Monkey Brains: What They Didn’t Tell You About Intranet Usability. I used the concept of monkey brains to talk about how people communicate, and what that means in relation to web design. I think you had to be there to fully appreciate the title.
