Lessons learnt from Xerox PARC

Curiosity is very important if one is willing to contain the emergence of a certain technology. This is very evident from the video as one comes to learn that Xerox PARC was the initial creator of the first graphical interface in earlier days never to use their creativity to implement the idea. If they could have seen the potential with their idea and with machine like alto at that time, companies renowned such as Microsoft, IBM and Apple would not have existed anywhere in the face of the earth. However, lack of their creativity made people like Bill Gates, Steve jobs Steve Wazniak and Steve Ballmer take the idea to resourceful and tangibles equipments that made the company to eventually collapse.

The business should not be done in closed ended ideas. This made Xerox PARC sell off their idea that would have increased their company through embracing changes. The company according to the video seems to be so much focused in their copier business without the knowledge that was before hand that technology is changing fast. This made other companies that used their ideas to overthrow them using their own idea.

In fact, most of the personal computers find their invention here.
