Copy, Paste And Cut Inventor Passes Away At 74.

Larry Tesler Was Also Apple’s Chief Scientist.

Larry Tesler, the computer scientist, who is famous for inventing the computer concepts cut, copy and paste, has sadly passed away at age 74 BBC News reports. Larry was born in New York in the year 1945 and he studied computer science at Stanford University. After his graduation, he worked in the university’s computer science and genetics departments before he became a research assistant with the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. 

In the year of 1973, Tesler commenced working at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and it is here that he developed cut, copy and paste. The concepts have been instrumental in the development of text editors as well as early computer operating systems. 

While copy, paste and cut were developed at PARC, the research center is even more well renowned for the early work on GUI (graphical user interfaces} and also using a mouse to navigate them.  Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder used many of these ideas as an inspiration for Apple’s new developments, innovations and products.
