1970 Alan Kay joined Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center:

Smalltalk. These inventions were later commercialized by
Apple with the
Macintosh.
After 10 years at Xerox PARC, Kay was Atari's chief scientist for three years. Starting in 1984, Kay was a Fellow at Apple Computer, Inc. He then joined Walt Disney Imagineering as a Disney Fellow. A recent development is the open source [Squeak] dynamic media software.
