NEW YORK -- Larry Tesler, the Silicon Valley pioneer who created the now-ubiquitous computer concepts such as “cut,” “copy” and “paste,” has died. He was 74.
He made using computers easier for generations as a proponent and pioneer of what he called “modeless editing." That meant a user wouldn't have to use a keyboard to switch between modes to write and edit, for example.
Computer scientist who pioneered 'copy' and 'paste' has died
Too bad he couldn't copy and paste a few more years to his life.
What a great invention that I have been very happy to use ever since I started with computers.
Can you imagine how much work it has saved people, and if you added all the time savings up, it would equal many lifetimes.
