Best Answer

Xerox Corporation influenced our technology through its invention of the first plain paper dry copier that permitted quality copies to be made in an office in seconds rather than requiring an original to be sent to a photo shop. The decision to lease, rather than sell, copiers allowed rapid penetration of the technology through side business sectors and changed marketing of high cost items to businesses.

In addition, Xerox engineers in Palo Alto invented the mouse, the GUI (Graphical User Interface), and Ethernet (a major component of computer connectivity within a building), and were major players in the development of what are now called personal computers. The GUI is featured in many electronic devices today and will not be leaving anytime soon.
