this website is the extension/the supplement of a brain...(as in things get put here in order to be remembered) if the internet were to be omnipresent, as it almost is with the ability to look at this on a mobile phone, then, where would the brain/mind/person stop or start? AND arent all things like this? physical objects as reminders of mental phenomena as most obviously seen in making notes/symbols that constitute written language but perhaps our very perception of shapes and dimensions is a language in the same way.... the whole world as a text so, the physical objects we take to be people are ultimately memory reminders as well - nothing special there...they are part of our memory and we are part of theirs....and when we cease to remember, they cease to exist? Kant, the concept of people as synthetic a priori?
