1994 First "Personal Communicator" Technology. When Did You Get Yours?

1994 was quite a time for computers and the internet and the world wide web. So many subscribers have commented on my clips and how much money we could have made if we bought Apple stock at that time. I love going to the computer IT Technology store and looking at all of the technologies. The phones. Televisions. PDAs. Calculators. Pagers. Messaging was a new thing and I was just beginning to use email. So much fun. A new technology. And I was fortunate enough to come to Silicon Valley in 1992 to work for the famed startup (John Sculley said that it was the most important company that nobody ever heard of) General Magic. I made videos/films for them and also for AT&T who was the predominant sponsor/investor as they were creating the network on which General Magic devices would run.The people that I worked with there were incredible. Bill Atkinson and Andy Herzfeld who had built the Mac. Tony Fadell who would go on to create the iPad and the iPhone. And the founders of eBay and so many other companies. All working together in one start up with a grand vision for the dawn of messaging and two-way interactivity with the Internet. The company failed but the vision was clearly correct. Apple got it and then so did Microsoft and the others.
