Personal assistant devices have come a long way from what they used to be, with memories of the Casio Business Navigator BN-40A still very fresh in my mind. This Business Navigator which served as a diary and calculator of some sort acted as my Dad’s personal assistant and did a darn good job for years.
This Navigator was able to tell the time at various locations in the world, keep track of important appointments and also act as a telephone directory. The modern day personal assistant apps took it a step further, adding voice-to-text options and also a bit of realism to the space.
