| The death of the inventor of the cut copy and paste feature |
Larry Tessler is a 74-year-old computer scientist and icon for early computing. With innovative technologies, including cut, copy and paste commands, the PC is easy to learn and use.
Tesler was born in New York in 1945, studied computer science at Stanford University in California and majored in UI design after graduation. Although the computer system was more humane, work began in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s. With a computer.
After working in artificial intelligence research, he moved to the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) from Xerox in 1973, where he developed cut, copy and paste functions that later became text editing for all IT operations. System user interface base.
PARC is famous for its early work on graphical user interfaces, using the mouse to navigate, and because Apple co-founder Steve Jobs saw and inspired this early research. Apple products have developed a better version of the idea, which is why Tesler is the reason why Jobs visit Xerox so much.
Tesler advocates the concept of unconditional computing. Absolute computing is the idea that a program should not contain a template, but rather refer to user input in order to perform various tasks depending on the environment. Mott works with a Roma text editor on PARC.
The inventor of the copy and paste function came to Apple in 1980 and worked with the company until 1997. The focus was on developing several products, including Macintosh disks, QuickTime, Lisa and Newton.
Macintosh and Lisa computers were the first personal computers to facilitate the process of cutting, copying, and pasting, thanks in large part to the participation of Tesler, who was promoted to chief scientist in 1993 and also held this position (Steve Wozniak).
After leaving Apple, Tesler worked for Stagecast, an educational institution separate from Apple. He has also worked on Amazon, Yahoo and 23andMe and has been a UX User Adviser since 2009.
