The first microcomputer developed by Xerox for businesses was the Xerox Alto, introduced in 1973. It was notable for pioneering many features of modern personal computing, including the graphical user interface and the use of a mouse. Although it was primarily used within Xerox and its research facilities, it laid the groundwork for future developments in computing technology.
What else can I help you with?
Which computer system became the first commercially successful system to include a Graphic User Interface GUI?
The Xerox Alto was the first computer to use a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
When was the first computer sold with a keyboard and monitor?
Although The Xerox Alto (developed at Xerox PARC on March 1, 1973) was one of the first computers designed for individual use - making it arguably the first "Personal Computer" - it really wasn't marketed to the public, per se. The Alto was the first computer to be housed in a "desktop" configuration and to use a mouse-driven graphical user interface. The IBM model number 5150 was introduced on August 12, 1981. It ushered in the term "Personal Computer".
In what year did Apple computer first popularize the concept of electronic cut and paste?
This was actually developed in its modern GUI form by Xerox PARC on their Alto computer in 1973, but the basic concept had been in use on text based interactive editors for about a decade before that. Apple copied from Xerox PARC for use on their Lisa in 1983 and Macintosh in 1984.
Was the first computer used only by businesses?
No, generally the first computers were too expensive for businesses to afford.
When was computer first developed?
It was developed many, many years ago.
Who first made the laptop?
The first developed portable computer was the Xerox NoteTaker, developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), in 1976. The first mass-produced portable computer was the Osborne 1, in 1981.
Who first developed the GUI?
Xerox
What is the name of the man who invented the computer mouse?
Xerox
Why Xerox are important?
The Xerox Corporation developed and brought to market the first xerographic (plain paper) copier. This revolutionized the business office environment. The Xerox Corporation also invented the Ethernet computer networking system and the graphical user interface, and was the first to successfully apply the computer mouse on a large scale. Many other critical elements of personal computers and computer networking were first created at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, although largely ignored by Xerox Corporation and brought to market by other companies.
What company developed the first laser printer in the 1970s?
Xerox
Did Xerox have greater profits in sales or leases in the early years?
When Xerox Corporation first offered a xerographic photocopier, the machine was too expensive for most businesses, so a leasing plan was developed. As a result, in the early years of copier machine manufacturing, Xerox had greater profits from leases than from sales.
