Excelent film about startups, creativity, carreer choices

This film is both interesting and exciting as well as sad and bitter / sweet. I think we can find a lot of insight on how our work lives in the tech industry is shaped by the company and environment we work in.
Beyond that its an interesting tale about the inception of the smart phone, and the fun and difficulties of creating something new.

This is not just the best documentary about Silicon Valley, it's the most compelling and instructive movie I've ever watched about the challenges of trying to achieve great things. Unmissable.

The unknown origins of the iPhone and the mobile, social and e-commerce apps we now take for granted—a spin out from Apple saw the future in 1990 but wasn’t able to realize it ( neither the technology or the market was ready). But the whiz kids who worked there went on to eventually develop or help fond everything from the IPod and IPhone, Android, eBay, Twitter, Pinterest and many more. Telling use of archival footage from the 1990s of the Magicians at work coupled with contemporary interviews tells a compelling story of failure and redemption.
Moving even for those who don't work in tech

Even though I don't work in technology, I found General Magic to be an incredibly moving story about failure. I walked away feeling very inspired to also want to change the world. The 90s nostalgia was so fun and it was amazing to see these enthusiastic smart young people who went on to literally change all of our lives. Besides the topic, it was a really well made documentary as well. You'll be hooked by the first minute.
Tech Wizards!!

The General Magic team was so ahead of their time it was like they came through a time warp. Their dreams of what this product could do to revolutionize the communication industry, their undying spirit, even their sketches prove they were on the right track — it was just the wrong time, in Silicon Valley tech’s infancy. Thank goodness they were also smart enough to document much of their journey on video, for us all to witness their brilliance!!
“In 1990 there was no digital telecommunications industry. It did not exist.”

This compelling film tells the story of the inventors of the smartphone decades before their time. Full of rare early footage of world tech leaders, the documentary is an inspiration to founders like myself. It’s a rollercoaster between making a dent in the universe, and the sacrifices that come with it. Reminiscent of “Pirates of Silicon Valley,” it’s set to spine tingling music that evokes the highs and lows of startup success and failure.
