Perceived access to intelligence

Details:

The definitions under this heading explicitly involve technology; the phenomenon is a subjective property of an individual person; the source of the stimuli in the experience is only external (outside the body); and there is an inaccurate perceptioon that technology is not involved in the experience when it is; and the aspect of the phenonenon that is of primary interest is related to social entitites (human, electronic and otherwise), specifically perceptions of access to another intelligence.

Sample defintion(s):

Biocca (1997) in Biocca, Harms, & Burgoon (2003):
"The minimum level of social presence occurs when users feel that a form, behavior, or sensory experience indicates the presence of another intelligence. The amount of social presence is the degree to which a user feels access to the intelligence, intentions, and sensory impressions of another.”
