Adobe co-founder and University of Utah alumni John Warnock died on Saturday aged 82, Adobe confirmed in a statement Sunday.
SALT LAKE CITY — Adobe co-founder and University of Utah alumni John Warnock died on Saturday aged 82, Adobe said in a statement Sunday."It is a sad day for the Adobe community and the industry for which he has been an inspiration for decades," Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said in an email sent to employees.Warnock graduated from the University of Utah with two bachelor's degrees in 1961. One undergraduate degree was mathematics and the second in philosophy.
"While working on his doctorate, Warnock, collaborating with a colleague, wrote the first computer-based registration program used at the U.," according to a statement made by the university in 2020. After his graduation from the U., Warnock went forward in the computer fields while working for Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation and IBM. While working for Xerox, he was involved with the development of a system for interactive graphics. He was also involved in a program to advance printer technology. Xerox was not interested in developing the concept further, so Warnock and colleague Charles Geschke struck out on their own to continue their work on it.
"The rest of your life is not a spectator sport. Your job in life is to be an active player, to make the world a better place," he said.
