If you use a laptop that is connected to the Internet via Ethernet, an operating system with a graphical interface, write in an object-oriented programming language, today you printed something on a laser printer, then you owe this in particular to Jack Goldman for 10 years He was the head of XEROX PARC, where most of the existing fundamental IT solutions were created, which are now widely used.

His example of working in the IT industry is a clear indication that the identity of one person, coupled with the desire to create something new and talented team, may well be the reason for truly brilliant results. It seems that Steve Jobs, using one of the results of PARC in his company, took over from Jack Goldman not only a technical solution and a stack of documents, but something else that would be difficult to describe.
