Consider the invention of the copy-paste function by Larry Tesler. Before this feature was introduced, users had to retype text and data, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. Larry Tesler, an engineer at Xerox PARC, identified this inefficiency and created a simple yet revolutionary solution: the copy-paste function. This seemingly “lazy” approach significantly increased productivity by allowing people to duplicate text and data effortlessly.
