READ ME FIRST: The intro is long. Let it buffer for 5 minutes to skip directly to the Lisa demo. Please visit my sponsor: http://www.SolidNutrition.com Subscribe to me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/adiblasi Filmed in 1984, Alfred demonstrates the $10,000 Apple Lisa computer on a tri-state
cable channel. This was a very early 'mass introduction' to a system that had a graphical user interface, icons, pull down menus, and a rodential input device called 'a mouse.' Enjoy! Alfred

Apple didn't invent the GUI. There have been made loads of GUI's, which Apples Lisa system was one of. The first GUI prototypes were already there in the 60's (Doug Engelbart) and the first real GUI was made by Xerox. Which Apple decided to changed up a bit and sold it like it was their idea. Apple introduced the trash can though.

yeah, they introduced a whole bunch of stuff too: pull down menues for example. They were actually invited to view the PARC system dude. and i feel sorry for them because the team was great, and they could have pawned the industry, but the execs were weirdos and very conservative. Thats why xerox is left with printers and paper lol

True, they invented the pull down menus as well. The problem with Xerox was, that they only wanted to develop the GUI for some experiments. Their market was somewhere else.
