from a company called Xerox, now famous for copiers. They created a research facility in the 70's in Palo Alto, California, where young engineers and scientists tried to invent the future of electronics. They came up with inventions like the computer mouse, and the GUI (Graphical User Interface). Xerox decided that these inventions were useless and shut down the project, but not before Steve Jobs visited the research center and believed the concepts had great potential. Since Xerox didn't want them, they didn't care that a new, small company called Apple used their ideas, and improved on them to create the first Macintosh, in 1984.
