Xerox PARC

Xerox PARC

Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center in California. During the 1970s and 1980s, Xerox PARC spawned a series of major computing innovations, including Ethernet networks and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Laser printing, Smalltalk, and the first (never-manufactured) personal computer were also developed there.

Xerox never capitalized on these inventions, leaving entreprenuers such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to bring them into the marketplace, but Xerox PARC remains at the cutting edge of computer innovations.
