Knowledge Navigator was a conceptual computing system developed by Apple Computer in the 1990s. The concept was unveiled as a video demonstration released by Apple in 1987. The video described how people might use it to navigate worlds of knowledge. In a sense, the user is actually the "Knowledge Navigator", though the term often refers to the system's primary interface, a tablet computer. That part (i.e., the tablet) often stands for the whole system. The concept was first described by former Apple Computer CEO John Sculley and John A. Byrne in their book, Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple (1987). "A future-generation Macintosh, which we should have early in the twenty-first century, might well be a wonderful fantasy machine called the Knowledge Navigator, a discoverer of worlds, a tool as galvanizing as the printing press. Individuals could use it to drive through libraries, museums, databases, or institutional archives. This tool wouldn't just take you to the doorstep of these great resources as sophisticated computers do now; it would invite you deep inside its secrets, interpreting and explaining—converting vast quantities of information into personalized and understandable knowledge."
