Today we're going back to This Old Mouse once more for a great article on Apple's legendary 1987 "Knowledge Navigator" video. This promotional video depicted the operation of a computer through voice, integrating a virtual personal assistant into the computing experience. An interesting quote from the article sums it up quite nicely:
"At that 1987 Apple World convention in L.A., someone asked Apple Fellow and visionary Alan Kay how he predicts the future. He said "We don't predict the future... we invent it."'
