    When Bill Moggridge graduated from design school in London in 1965, he was expecting to design products manufactured in metals and plastics for the rest of his life. Now he finds himself a founding member of a design firm that is capable of creating innovative designs for products, services, environments, and almost everything that is both digital and interactive. He will share how one thing led to another, how he ended up designing the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass), explain why it all happened, and illustrate his story with objects, images, and video clips. This event is part of the Odysseys in Technology, A Computer History Museum Speaker Series Sponsored by Sun Microsystems Laboratories. The Series presents people and perspectives behind extraordinary innovations and advancements in the computer technology-related world. Each event in the Series provides stimulating interaction with authentic experts whose achievements have transformed how things are done or viewed, and to examine how their personal stories might inform the present and future. These programs occasionally feature technologies or point events, with the objective to apply lessons of history to present day understanding and inspiration.
