How Xerox PARC Invented the Future... and Lost It All (The Untold Story)
This video explores the incredible story of Xerox PARC, the research lab that invented almost every technology we use today: the personal computer, the mouse, the graphical user interface, Ethernet, and laser printing. But despite birthing the digital age, Xerox failed to capitalize on any of it, while Apple and Microsoft walked away with billions. Based on the book 'Dealers of Lightning' by Michael A. Hiltzik, this video reveals how a group of brilliant misfits working in a corporate utopia created the future, only to have it stolen by the very company that funded them. You'll learn why the biggest inventions are often the hardest to sell, and how a single moment of corporate blindness changed the world.
