Twitter users are copying and pasting the message about Larry Tesler from each other over and over again.
Perhaps the seemingly eternal chain of copy and paste jokes might be an apt way of honoring Tesler's invention, as it demonstrates how the command makes repeating information much easier for the everyday user.
Tesler invented the"cut,""copy," and"paste" commands and the"find" and"replace" command, and he will be remembered for how his innovations made computers much more user-friendly. Tesler was passionate about the use of"modes" and believed that computer systems should stop using them, as although"modes" allowed users to switch between functions, they were complicated to use. Tesler's website was even"nomodes.com" and his Twitter handle was @nomodes.
The late scientist worked for major tech companies including Apple, Amazon, and the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. After being recruited by Apple in 1980, Tesler worked at the company for 17 years, eventually working as chief scientist.
