The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) designated three critical technologies with IEEE Milestones because of their impact and profound effect on society: the Alto personal computer, Ethernet, and the Laser Printer.

Each of these innovations was created by researchers at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), which was acquired by SRI as a donation from Xerox in April 2023.

SRI will host a PARC Forum dedication ceremony and celebration on May 17 at SRI’s historic PARC Campus in Palo Alto, California. At the event, SRI CEO David Parekh will welcome Ethernet inventor Bob Metcalfe; Vint Cerf, Google VP and chief Internet evangelist; IEEE president Tom Coughlin; and Brian Berg, vice chair of the IEEE History Committee, for an evening of discussion and storytelling.

“This honor recognizes the collaborative efforts and the visionary spirit that brought these essential technologies to the world,” said Parekh. “The award inspires us to continue our mission of creating and delivering scientific and engineering breakthroughs for the betterment of society.”

SRI has nine IEEE Milestones: Inception of the ARPANET, Shakey the Robot, the Mother of all Demos, Color TV, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), the TIROS I Weather Satellite, and now the Alto personal computer, Ethernet, and the Laser Printer.
