		Xerox upper management, fearing the inevitable demise of their paper-based company in the "paperless" future, decided that they had better make sure they controlled this new technology.
		PARC researchers truly believed they were inventing the future of computing, and they ended up doing just that.
		The PARC researchers realized that what was needed was a consistent user interface for new applications, and to make that happen a whole new visual code development environment would have to be invented.

	History of the graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Xerox PARC team with Merzouga Wilberts, codified the WIMP (windows, icons, menus and pointers) paradigm, first pioneered on the Xerox Alto experimental computer, but which eventually appeared commercially in the Xerox 8010 ('Star') system in 1981.
		There is still some controversy over the amount of influence that Xerox's PARC work, as opposed to previous academic research, had on the GUIs of Apple's Lisa and Macintosh, but it is clear that the influence was extensive, because first versions of Lisa GUIs even lacked icons.
		Note also that Apple was invited by PARC to view their research, and a number of PARC employees subsequently moved to Apple to work on the Lisa and Macintosh GUI.

	Section 16: GUI and Personal Computers
		In 1975 the researchers at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) moved into their permanent headquarters at 3333 Coyote Hill Road near Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
		Xerox PARC combined these separate technologies into one raster graphics screen along with an easier way of issuing commands: the pop up menus, icons, and desktop metaphor of the graphical user interface.
		In 1974 a PARC researcher named Dan Ingalls, who was one of the principle architects of the Smalltalk object oriented language, invented a procedure for the movement of whole blocks of bits on the screen called "Bit Blit", or BitBLT.

	Brainstorming the Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Thus was born Workscapes of the Future, a six-week project to encourage a different kind of brainstorming: a bunch of techno-savvy kids challenging the assumptions of some of the world's most free-thinking researchers.
		Xerox recruited the kids from four area high schools and a middle school and gave them the run of the joint.
		Thus over the course of their six weeks at PARC, when the kids asked why, exactly, a four-box matrix was supposed to be an enlightening model of the world, or what criteria might be applied, precisely, to determine whether a Web page was accurate as opposed to merely interesting, nobody called them clueless.

	Research in Support of Digital Libraries at Xerox PARC Part I: The Changing Social Roles of Documents
		When Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) was founded in 1970, its charter was to develop technology to support the ``architecture of information'' [Pake].
		For many years, researchers at PARC have studied what is known as work practices, that is, looking closely at the use of technologies in specific organizational settings, uncovering the implicit and perhaps unrecognized assumptions that workers bring to their tasks, and understanding what technical and social channels workers use to cooperate and teach one another.
		Several PARC researchers have written on the role of books and documents in society, past, present, and future, and the remainder of this article attempts to acquaint the reader with a few of their ideas.

	CNN - 1972: Xerox Parc and the Alto - July 8, 1999
		That system, dubbed the Maxc (Multiple Access Xerox Computer), was a continuation of work started by Berkeley Computer Corp. Berkeley had run out of capital, and its founders, including Peter Deutsch, had all agreed to join Parc to finish their project.
		Although founded in 1970 as a research arm for Xerox, Xerox Parc ended up functioning more like an academic research center or a national computer lab whose innovations became part of the public domain than like the research-and-development arm of a corporation.
		Xerox management failed to see the opportunities afforded by many of the innovations at Parc, and many key innovators ended up defecting to start their own companies.

		Electronic reusable paper utilizes a display technology, invented at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), called "Gyricon." A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic in which millions of small beads, somewhat like toner particles, are randomly dispersed.
		Xerox' partnership with 3M means electronic reusable paper can be manufactured in large enough quantities for commercial applications.
		Xerox PARC researcher Matt Howard demonstrates an active sheet of electronic reusable paper in the laboratory.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Xerox PARC Takes on Clean, Green Technology
		PARC, as it's more commonly known, recent launched a Clean Technology Initiative, focused on key areas of clean and sustainable technologies: solar, energy distribution, energy conservation and efficiency, clean water, air quality, and some paper-reduction technologies (the latter, of course, aimed at Xerox's core business).
		PARC will conduct research for companies that want to advance their own green initiatives, or, as with SolFocus, leverage its own competencies to help take new ventures to market.
		PARC's Ernst reflects that big vision: "If we were to look back ten years from now and say who are the leaders in clean technology, we would hope that a significant number of them would have PARC technology as their root of their success."

	Digital pioneers / Xerox PARC scientists honored for groundbreaking work on early computers
		Although PARC is lauded for its technical achievements, Xerox is considered to have fumbled its chance to capitalize on most of its research.
		But the PARC visionaries, led by Robert Taylor, imagined a different future, in which computers were less like glorified adding machines and more like the personalized media hubs they are today.
		By 1970, when Xerox established PARC, Taylor was perceived as the guy who knew, and could ultimately recruit, all the talented young researchers who had been identified and funded by ARPA.

		Although PARC didn't divulge the inner workings of GUI secrets like 'BitBlt', Bill Atkinson took away from it enough inspiration to solve the overlapping window problem himself as well as to win the argument that the mouse should be standard equipment on every Lisa computer.
		Some say that PARC's influence on Apple was more inspirational than directly technical but after reading Hiltzik's well-researched chapter on the presentations at PARC labs, it is hard to believe that the influence wasn't quite substantial.
		Xerox was playing not to lose against the Japanese but to have succeeded with PARC's technology it would have had to play to win.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age - Michael A. ...
		Dealers of Lightning is the riveting story of the legendary Xerox PARC — a collection of eccentric young inventors brought together by Xerox Corporation at a facility in Palo Alto, California, during the mind-blowing intellectual ferment of the seventies and eighties.
		The received wisdom is that Xerox muffed the chance to dominate the personal computer era by allowing revolutionary technologies developed at PARC to be snatched up by strangers and rivals (most famously, Apple, which took the mouse and the graphical user interface from PARC).
		While granting that Xerox could certainly have better exploited the new technologies issuing from PARC, he emphasizes that the company brought together "a group of superlatively creative minds at the very moment when they could exert maximal influence on a burgeoning technology, and financed their work with unexampled generosity." This is a top-notch business page-turner.

		Xerox never capitalized on these inventions, leaving entreprenuers such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to bring them into the marketplace, but Xerox PARC remains at the cutting edge of computer innovations.

		As you may be gathering, the difference between the Xerox system architectures and Macintosh architecture is huge; much bigger than the difference between the Mac and Windows.
		It's not surprising, since Microsoft saw quite a bit of the Macintosh design (API's, sample code, etc.) during the Mac's development from 1981 to 1984; the intention was to help them write applications for the Mac, and it also gave their system designers a template from which to design Windows.
		Of course, there were some ex- Xerox people in the Lisa and Mac groups, but the design point for these machines was so different that we didn't leverage our knowledge of the Xerox systems as much as some people think.
