You may not recognise his name, but Larry Tesler — the former Xerox and Apple designer who created such concepts as the copy and paste — made many of our lives much easier.
Larry Tesler, the Silicon Valley pioneer who created many now-ubiquitous computer concepts such as"cut","copy" and"paste", has died aged 74.He pioneered concepts that helped make computers more user-friendlyHe made using computers easier for generations as a proponent and pioneer of what he called"modeless editing".
He pioneered concepts that helped make computers more user-friendly. That included such concepts as moving text through cut and paste and inserting text by clicking on a section and just typing. "The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler. Your workday is easier thanks to his revolutionary ideas," Xerox said in a tweet Wednesday.
Mr Tesler was born in New York and attended Stanford University, where he received a degree in mathematics in 1965.
