General Magic

For one night only, IxDA Oslo brings the story of General Magic to Vega Scene.

IxDA Oslo is a vibrant community for people who build digital products and services. Every month they host talks about how design shapes the world, presented by experts in the industry.

This month they are screening an award winning documentary about a startup you’ve likely never heard of – but has influenced most of the technology you use today.

General Magic spun out of Apple in 1990 to create the next big thing. In 1994 they shipped the first handheld "personal communicator" – or smartphone.

The film combines archival footage with interviews from the people behind, reflecting on the most influential Silicon Valley company no one has ever heard of.

Featuring legendary members of the original Macintosh team, along with the creators of the iPod, iPhone, Android, and eBay, this is the story of one of history’s most talented tech teams, who after a great failure, went on to change the lives of billions.
