Interesting question.
What if future devices could interact with local wireless systems to questions relevant to the local services, which can respond to questions like Siri, such as:
"Where is the bathroom?"
"I want a librarian"
"Where are books on metaphysics?"
"Is a study room available?"
"When does the library close?"
The device checks with local servers to see whether the question can be answered locally, before checking more globally.
