There are so many little things that make our computing experience a little easier. We don’t even tend to know who created them. While doing simple things like copying a file and pasting it, we don’t usually think who created this copy-paste feature in computers, do we? Well, the creator was Larry Tesler and he died this week at the age of 74.

The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler. Your workday is easier thanks to his revolutionary ideas. Larry passed away Monday, so please join us in celebrating him. Photo credit: Yahoo CC-By-2.0 https://t.co/MXijSIMgoA pic.twitter.com/kXfLFuOlon
