Xerox Star

The Xerox Star, released in 1981, was one of the first commercial computer workstations designed for office use. It introduced many features now common in personal computers, such as a graphical user interface (GUI), icons, and a mouse for easier navigation. The system allowed users to create, store, and manage documents digitally, promoting office automation. Built with innovative hardware and software, the Xerox Star aimed to improve productivity and streamline workflow. While not a commercial blockbuster, it significantly influenced the development of future personal computers and user-friendly interfaces, shaping modern computing experiences.
