"The most prominent link between social constructionism and EM [(Extended Mind)] is the emphasis of context. Environment is crucial to each. The EM argument proposes environmental objects as crucial to understanding human cognition, while social constructionism promotes context and environment as critical to understanding the construction of meaning and experience. Human cognition and experience do not occur within a vacuum, and neither does knowledge creation nor transfer. ... Nosek proposes useful suggestions in terms of group cognition for improving technologies that allow ‘anytime, anyplace collaborative work’ (Nosek, 2004; pp.63). Collaboration through communities of practice (CoP) and across wider organizational groups can be better encouraged through developing technology that seeks to utilize dialogue and language to enhance cognitive activities. Viewing the technology as part of a hybrid cognitive system significantly reorientates the purpose of the technology in a way that can enhance the creation and transfer of tacit knowledge. Although a characteristic of tacit knowledge is the lack of acknowledged construction, dialogue and language are crucial in trying to communicate tacit knowledge. Technologies that are geared to aiding the cognitive acts of sharing tacit knowledge not only potentially enable the sharing of tacit knowledge, but also its creation by allowing for the development of such knowledge in a socially constructed context."

Interesting par. at the end about Hannah Arendt's observations about public spaces and democracy.
