It took me some time but I settled on my name for my iPhone 6. Since Siri is Scandinavian in origin, I researched Norse history and culture. And I also thought about famous artificial intelligences in movies.
Can you add to the list?
Sharon Apple (Macross Plus)
Deus Ex Machina (The Matrix)
HAL 9000 (2001: The Space Odyssey)
VIKI (Eagle Eye)
Skynet (Terminator)
So I named it Loki, the Norse God of mischief. Since I was still gunning for artificial intelligence, I converted it to an acronym:
Lord
Over
Knowledge and
Information
I wondered if there's a difference between knowledge and information. Apparently there is a difference. Knowledge is what you know as an individual. Information is facts, stats, opinions, other people's knowledge.
So there you have it. L.O.K.I. it is!
This has been your C Note.
