Cute trivia here — we’ll spend some time in April discussing the importance of technological innovations.
Everything has to be invented by someone. Larry Tesler died today.He invented a great many things in computer programming.
In the early 1970’s he worked at PARC. This was a Xerox unit. located far away from corporate headquarters in Rochester, that was allowed free rein to investigate and develop novel computing techniques. For example, the mouse was invented there.
Anyway, Tesler invented copy-and-paste. You use this everyday, but once upon a time someone had to figure how to do that first.
