Siri is a Virtual Personal Assistant

We believe that in five years most people who use the Internet will have a Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) to take care of the details of using online services.  We will look back at the birth of VPAs in 2009 and wonder how we ever got by without our trusted assistant.  The days of wading through links and pages from your mobile interface will seem quaint, because the natural way to interact with the rich world of information and services is to have a conversation.

As John Batelle, the author of The Search, says “The future of search is a conversation with someone we trust.”

Stay tuned – the era of the personal assistant has begun!

Years in the making, Siri is born out of SRI’s CALO Project, the largest Artificial Intelligence project in U.S. history. (CALO stands for Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes).

Made possible by a $150 million DARPA* investment, the CALO Project included 25 research organizations and institutions and spanned 5 years. Siri is bringing the benefits of this technology to the public, in the first mainstream consumer application of a virtual personal assistant. To learn about how Siri works, continue on to Siri Technology.

I was looking for Mark Twain’s travel log of 19th century Palestine, “Innocents Abroad,” so I went to this old bookstore, one of those dusty places that has old newspapers so you can see what happened 70 years ago while bathing in that wafting old-newspaper aroma, which is never gratuitous, at least for people who like strange smells. Though I found a 19th century Russian printing of the Pentateuch, I couldn’t find Twain’s travel book. So I asked this tall guy who seemed to work there, and he told me, besides ordering it at the front desk, to check out Project Gutenberg. So I did.

And, as a southerner would say, well Gahhhh-ly. I typed in “Innocents Abroad” and found many, many versions of this book. Basically, anything that is no longer copyrighted, like older books that you had to read in high school, you can find them here. So no, you can’t exactly go to the Gutenberg project and pick up J.K. Rowling’s 8th installment “Harry Potter Finally Sees a Shrink After Suffering PTSD From Way Too Many Near-Death Experiences,” or any of the other seven, but what you can do is look up Arthur Conan Doyle and start reading up on Sherlock Holmes. As far as I know, the Doyle estate can’t stop the Project.

There are a few options for reading Gutenberg material. You can just browse it online without downloading by following the links, or you can download the actual eBook. You’ll need some supporting programs for some of these, which can be easily downloaded (most browsers search for them automatically). Project Gutenberg could use a more user-friendly interface in terms of making access to that a bit easier, but with the amount of stuff they’ve got in there, I really have no right to complain. With the right funding, this could turn into a serious research and money-saving powerhouse. Now you don’t have to go to the classics section of Borders and whip it $9.95 for another copy of Huckleberry Finn for your 8th grade son who doesn’t even want to read it anyway, that ungrateful brat with no appreciation for American classics by men who didn’t even use their own names—which is how it’s SUPPOSED to be. After all, who needs a name when you can just make up another one free of charge?

And of course, there are many ways to search. Author, title, topic, standard stuff. The only thing you have to worry about, is do you want to read off your computer, or use a lot of ink?

The NextStudent eLearners college search tool, found at www.NextStudent.com, is ideal for prospective students seeking to move into a new career or earn a higher salary, whether they’re an undergraduate interested in two-year certificate programs, a busy professional looking for a graduate program with a flexible schedule, or a working parent ready to complete an unfinished college degree.

Students can browse over 2,000 online college degree programs and certificate programs quickly and easily, searching by school, degree type, or field of interest. The college search tool will match up a student’s preferences with the online education programs that offer the best fit, and allow students to connect directly with education advisors at accredited online schools that offer those programs.

Using the NextStudent eLearners college search, students can research online college degrees offered by some of the nation’s top accredited online universities, including online education degree programs in some of the most rapidly expanding fields, like computer science and medicine, as well as in more specialized industries, from fashion and game design to forensics and the culinary arts.

Online education programs, allowing students to work toward their college degree from home, around their own schedule, offer one of the most convenient ways for aspiring professionals to advance their career and increase their earning potential. An employee holding a bachelor’s degree earned, on average, $77,600 in 2007, according to the U.S. Census, and a professional degreed employee earned $100,000, compared with $40,500 for an employee with only a high school education. Over a lifetime, those with a bachelor’s degree will earn $1 million more than those with only a high school diploma.

The value of a college degree has become particularly apparent in the current recession: In May, the unemployment rate was 10 percent for workers with a high school diploma, compared to 4.8 percent for workers holding a bachelor’s degree.
