The Xerox Star, introduced in 1981, marked a turning point in the history of computing, laying the groundwork for how we interact with personal computers today. Although it wasn’t a commercial success, its influence reshaped the direction of computer design and user interfaces, leaving a legacy that would be felt for decades.

In addition to the GUI, the Xerox Star introduced the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), this allowed us to see on screens how documents would appear once printed. This innovation laid the foundation for modern word processing and desktop publishing, making tools like Microsoft Word and Adobe PageMaker possible.

PS, without this, we have no Apple or Innovative technology
