"The term "external brain" has been paraphrased and used by many presenters. The first time I heard it was during a conference on FAS in 2000 by Susan Doctor (now Dr. Doctor, from Reno, Nevada). Susan Doctor shared the wisdom she had gleaned from having Dr. Clarren as a mentor while pursuing her doctorate. Notes from her presentation on Modifying the Environment can be found here and notes on her presentation on Intervention can be found here. The Susan Doctor/Sterling Clarren quote I use often is "The person with FAS will always need an external brain - key words are 'always' and 'external'."

"From the early days of computers, people have speculated that computers would be used to supplement our intelligence. Extended stores of knowledge, memories once forgotten, computational feats, and expert advice would all be at our fingertips". The Rise of the External Brain Greg Linden, BLOG@CACM.
