Back in 1987 Apple made a video about a future computer that would have
a touchscreen with a computerized assistant you could talk to. In the
video, the professor who is using the digital assistant has a calendar
bearing the date "September 16th". He is shown asking the assistant to
search for a 2006 paper written "about five years ago". Yes, that means
the date he is living in is Sept 16, 2011.
Siri was introduced yesterday and embodies everything in that video.
Siri doesn't have a bow-tie like the assistant in the video, but as one
observer wrote: "Less bowtie is always better".
Siri it seems, was 18 days later than the video predicted. That's almost
creepy.
Apparently, the future is now.
