Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center founder Jacob Goldman passes away at age 90 (Engadget)
Jacob Goldman, the man who helped found the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
as Xerox’s chief scientist in 1970, has passed away at age 90. PARC holds a
special place in gadget lore, as it was responsible for creating Alto, the
first modern computer with a GUI and a mouse, the first WYSIWYG text editor,
and Ethernet, among many other innovations. Prior to his time at Xerox, Dr.
Goldman was the head of R&D at Ford Motor Company, and after retiring, he
served on the boards of several companies, including Xerox. The _New York
Times_ reported that Goldman created PARC to research “the architecture of
information” — and the fruits of PARC’s labor listed above show that he’s
made an immeasurable and lasting contribution to the computing world, and
consequently, life as we know it. Godspeed, Dr. Goldman, and thanks for
everything.
