To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday.+ While I worked at General Magic back in 1992 as a vice president, I created videos to launch the company in NYC and produced a series of training and educational videos to increase target audience awareness. I found this in my archive and know that all of those who know Megan Smith and/or General Magic alumni will enjoy seeing it in its entirety. Megan worked with me and was an ally and mentor as I had just arrived in California from "back east." It is amazing that today she still has that same youthful energy and enthusiasm. So many of the people from General Magic went on to work on many parts of Internet revolution --- in the smart phone arena, this included Andy Rubin (Danger and now Android), and Tony Fadell (who led the first iPod work with Steve Jobs that is now part of the iPhone heritage). Back in these days as you can see, we were at the earliest days on the work on all of the 'parts' that are now in all of our smart phones. At that time, Megan was the lead Mechanical Engineer for the General Magic Magic Cap platform and reference hardware, as well as part of the core Alliance management team for the Device partners (like Sony, Motorola, Philips, Apple and others).

At first I watched because she was real cute, then I realized what I was seeing was the alpha concept of the ipad phenomina. Quite interesting.

I remember this time. I was working at a software developer. I was just out of highschool. I remember the programmers and leaders of the company were very optimistic about the future and would share their wisdom in foretelling what was coming in the next two decades. When I see her talking about the future it brings back those feelings of anticipation and excitement.

Megan Smith is indeed awesome. I met her back when she was running Planet Out, and she was impressive just standing there--this, you could see in an instant, is Somebody. They really lucked out when they named her US CTO... This video is fascinating -- yes, they were trying to invent the iPad. She has to explain to the tech(? reporter what a touch screen is...!

Mac: I was there at Planet Out also as Megan's consultant. What a spectacular organization she brought together and ran. Working in that place was a dream for the people who chose it and were lucky enough to work under her.

It almost seems US CTO is a step down!

Mac McCarthy But knowing Megan as we do, she tends to turn non-opportunities into synergistic opportunities by connecting people at just the right times in the right ways. Uncanny how she does it. So I am hopeful that as US CTO she will use her incredible instincts to connect “us” with them in useful and meaningful ways

The 4 strain gauge touch screen was pretty fun to see. I imagine if the user is applying a torque to the screen through friction, it would be hard to filter out. Maybe if it was 3-axis strain gauges on each post.

David, I've watched this video before, but shows your genius, of course, that you are recycling it now AND that you took the footage in 1992!

By 1992, in my career, I realized that these kinds of recordings were history in the making. I wish I had realized that when I started at 20 years old. Megan had fantastic energy and made me feel that it was the dawn of a new day to be working at General Magic. She still has that energy as you know. David Hoffman-filmmaker

Super interesting, but the cameraman is rather incompetent when it comes to zooming and framing the subject. Really awesome and fascinating to see such general magic and the development of the touch screen though!
