If you’re a Gen-Xer, there’s a chance you might have had a favorite TV show back in the early ’80s, Friday nights on NBC: Knight Rider. Sort of Dukes of Hazzard meets “the future” with David Hasselhoff as a renegade crime fighter…. and a TALKING CAR!

Wow! A car that talks! Something as ubiquitous as a car that responds to voice commands with usable information? Some machinery that nearly all adults interact with daily can understand what we say and respond accordingly? Only in Hollywood or a James Bond film would we ever hope for such within our reach. Right?

I like the wallpaper. Not an iPhone fanboy, so cannot use it.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough on the subject, I have just watched The Big Bang Theory SE05E14, and it give another interesting perspective on Siri....
Thanks for commenting, Sremy. What was their perspective?
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Although I do not have an iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say I'm an expert on Knight Rider, just another person who really liked the show.
Although here is something for you to look up if you ever get curious. There is a band called The Crown, their guitarist has a tendency for putting the Knight Rider theme in some sections of their songs. Some are pretty obvious to spot, some take a while to realize it.
Thanks for commenting — yes, it IS awesome! I bet the image works for non-iPhone models also, as long as you can pick your own image.
ReplyDeleteI'm no expert, either, but your post is indeed very good. And one of the best things about the show to me is the theme. It jams. The syncopated, steady beat and fat synth sounds are dramatic and exciting to this day. Good on The Crown for working that in. I'll have to check them out for sure.
