PARC: As Silicon Valley as it Gets
Sarah Lacy, Yahoo! Finance Tech Ticker, May 1, 2008
Excerpts from the post [video]:
...There's one place in Silicon Valley where Apple, Google, Yahoo, and any other modern computing or Internet company can trace its roots back to, and that's Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. It was started in the 1970s to create "the architecture of information" and among its inventions were the Ethernet, the graphical user interface, laser printed and distributed computing.
Xerox's chief technology officer, Sophie Vandebroek, takes us on a tour of PARC, describing its inventions of the past, present and future.
