Mitchell Kapor had done an incredible breakthrough of electronic spreadsheets in the 80s. Although he was a part of the VisiCalc family, he decided to go to a different path that other International IT Companies have opened their doors for Kapor’s invention: a better spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3.

    Even I would underestimate Kapor if I was in their time, because who would, if everybody wouldn’t see him or take him seriously as a professional. But was struck me was his longing patience that took him miles away from the industry in that specific time. He decided to leave all those behind to get ahead. Together with his partner, Jonathan Sachs, they endeavored long moments of pure programming and implementation to create a new and better software.

    Lotus Development has given people ease and integration with graphs, charts and other features through the use of electronic spreadsheets. It has helped large companies’ business structures and systems to manage every single process.

    What I can’t forget about this case study was the 64K memory that serves as the storage for the spreadsheet. I remembered that Kapor emphasized on Kilobytes not Megabytes, because now, 1 megabyte is just a minute away from being downloaded. In reality, modernization truly has accelerated, even the Church can’t follow with that up speed.
