Gardiner, W. Lambert (Scot)
Scot Gardiner cand from a psychology background into communication and his latter works were based in history of media and psychology of communication. This resonates with my work because of his connection to media as intelligence amplifiers and extensions of mind - very much Toronto School.
I found out about Gardiner by perusing faculty write-ups at Concordia because of their communication school. I contacted him to see if he was interested in discussing my work and ended up spending lunch and the afternoon with him in Hudson Heights where he lived. He quickly concluded that my notions of linguistic reflexivity of software represent the underlying mechanism predicted by his work on the current transformation of media. This is analogous to Darwin's work predicting the need for DNA but not foreseeing the actual mechanism ultimately revealed by James Watson, Francis Crick and a little known researcher, Rosalind Franklin.
