Xerox has a rich history of innovation. As the inventors of Ethernet over 50 years ago, they helped build the foundation for today's Internet. In fact, not known to many, the Ethernet's first commercialisation was as a communication bus in their production publishing systems in the early 1990s.
Chester Carlson's invention of xerography more than 85 years ago was an extraordinary milestone in the development of the modern information age, as now individuals could share and access information much more easily.
