Synopsis: This week on The Impromptu, Siri is a travesty. It’s fundamentally rotten at its core. But does Apple have a completely redesigned version up its sleeve for next year? To get an idea of where modern personal digital assistants need to be, we go way back to 1987 and look at Apple’s Knowledge Navigator concept.
