Later in one of his letters, Robert Taylor wrote: "I believe that the Internet was created at Xerox PARC, around 1975, when we connected Ethernet and ARPAnet through PUP (PARC Universal Protocol)."

So, the Internet was created at Xerox PARC. "But why didn't Xerox become the world's largest company then?" - the author of the article asks another question. The answer is simple and obvious: the company's management was too focused on the core business to notice innovative developments and calculate their potential.

Xerox executives based at the company's headquarters in Rochester, New York, were too focused on selling copiers. From their point of view, Ethernet could only be used so that people in the same office could link multiple computers to share a copier.

Many people know the story of how in 1979 the founder of Apple Steve Jobs came to Xerox PARC for ideas - he entered into an agreement with the Xerox management, according to which he could get access to any innovative developments of the laboratory. “They just didn't know what they were,” Jobs later said, who made Apple a great company thanks in part to developments taken out of Xerox.

However, the sale of copiers has been profitable for Xerox for decades. The company name has even become synonymous with copier. But Xerox missed the moment, and in the era of the digital revolution, company managers can only console themselves with the thought that only a few succeed in successfully moving from one technological era to another.

In 1995, the development of the Internet completely came under the control of commercial companies. The part of the network, which was controlled by the supercomputers of the US National Science Foundation, remained only a narrow niche. Since this year, the commercial Internet has started to grow at an explosive rate, although before that almost 30 years "languished" under the control of the government. In less than 10 years, companies have achieved a real technological revolution, which, according to Gordon Krovitz, once again proves that business is more important than government.

Building a successful tech business requires both disruptive technology and specific skills to bring it to market. The contrast between Apple and Xerox shows that few business leaders can succeed in the face of such a daunting challenge. It is to them, not the government, that the main merit belongs.
