a quick summary of what xerox parc had invented by 1979

  • the personal computer
  • the laser printer
  • ethernet
  • word processing
  • the windows graphical user interface
  • object-oriented programming
  • digitial video editing
  • an internetworking protocol

wow.

Update: This is, by the way, my third blog post. Ever.

Anyway, the reason I wrote it and the reason I’m updating it is to say that at the time I posted this, I was reading an excellent book about the history of Xerox Parc called Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age. Check it out.
