When the electric lightbulb took off it lead to so many new ways of working and studying and entertainment, the world changed a thousand times over.

Just the lightbulb was enough for one thing to lead to another.

The future wasn’t invented at Parc in the 1970s, but a lot of it escaped from there and blossomed over the next fifty years.
