Apple 1987 Concept Video Showed Advanced Search Engine

This video shows the Apple Knowledge Navigator, a 1987 concept video produced by Apple. The user performs a journal search using an interactive voice-operated search engine. Very nicely done, and very insightful for 22 years ago.

Companies make concept videos for a variety of reasons. One such reason is to inspire their staff by producing their “ideal fantasy design”, then to step back and build a real product that can actually be made.

Moving this video to doogle's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Seriously? No votes?

*promote. Rumour has it that Apple's new Siri voice recognition will be at least partially this good. The announcement is tomorrow - and I have to say I'm more excited by this than any new hardware. It's supposed to be integrated with Wolfram Alpha, which is a website that I love. Being able to say "what's the difference in population between Brisbane and Canberra" and get a good answer, would be pretty cool.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by dag.
