Although the article claims IBM invented the term "Personal Computer" and Steve Jobs also claimed to have invented the personal computer, Alan Kay wrote at Xerox PARC about "A personal computer for children of all ages" in 1972 [1]. Many of his ideas went into the Xerox Alto (1973) personal computer [2]. The Apple I was introduced in 1976 and the IBM PC in 1981.
