The brain-computer metaphor, a dismissed idea from a 1998 philosophy paper, is now one of the most-cited papers.

This idea is supported by the concept of the extended mind, where external tools, like notes or smartphones, are integral to cognition. This shift in perspective challenges traditional views of memory.
