Show More
In July 2014 Bill Robinson a writer for the Huffington Post, posts an interview titled, TechView: Linus Torvalds, Inventor of Linux. This interview was three months after Linus Torvald received the 2014 IEEE Computer Society’s Computer Pioneer Award for an outstanding individual who, at least 15years earlier had made contributions to the creation and the continued vitality of the computer industry. In this interview Linus Torvals discusses things such as where he sees technology going in the future, the most important people in technology, politics, and what excites him about technology today(Robinson, 2014).
What I got from the article is that Linus Torvals a 45 year old Finnish American family man, does not like or believe in religion, though
