1987 – Apple Knowledge Navigator
I came across a YouTube video showing the Apple Knowledge Navigator, a 1987 concept video produced by Apple. I find most concept videos to be so fanciful that they really never come to fruition (Beyond 2000 anyone?). But there was something quite simple and honest about this video – and not to mention that many of the pieces, while not all together as one, exists in some form today.
I couldn’t help thinking of Google Reader and Skype whilst watching this. The AI (Artificial Intelligence) is still a while away, but the insight Apple has shown here is astounding.

Good clip, I hadn’t seen it before.
Apple again ahead of the curve. Interesting the story focussed on climate change essentially – even thought it is more than 20 years old. The iSight like camera and USB style key also interesting.
Nice find.
