Jean-Louis Gassée is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Jean-Louis Gassée as French businessman.
Jean-Louis Gassée was born at Paris in 1944. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at University of Paris-Sud.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as computer scientist, programmer and businessperson.
His affiliations include Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard and Access Systems Americas.
Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight of the National Order of Merit (1998).
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Jean-Louis Gassée is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
