Why is the Xerox Alto an important step in computer development?

The Xerox Alto, developed in the early 1970s, is significant in computer development as it introduced the graphical user interface (GUI), utilizing windows, icons, and menus, which transformed how users interact with computers. It also pioneered the use of a mouse as a pointing device, making computing more accessible and intuitive. These innovations laid the groundwork for future operating systems, influencing the design of personal computers, including Apple's Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. Overall, the Alto marked a shift towards more user-friendly computing, setting standards that are still prevalent today.
