- Distributed Intelligence & Off-loading | “Writing, digital computers, and networks each allow us to externalize some functions of the mind.” James Gee, 2007, 26
- Offloading | “By distributing knowledge and skills […] between the virtual characters (smart tools) and the real-world player– the player is guided and supported by the knowledge built into the virtual characters.” James Gee, 2007, 27.
- Manipulation and Distributed Knowledge | “… humans feel expanded and empowered when they can manipulate powerful tools in intricate ways that extend their area of effectiveness” James Gee, 2007, 33
