Nokia Bell Labs's video: Unix50 - The Origin of Unix

The Origin of Unix panel session features Brian Kernighan, Doug McIlroy, Peter Weinberger, Jon Bentley, and Stephen Johnson sharing their stories about the birth of Unix at Bell Labs 50 years ago. We commemorated Unix’s anniversary with the Unix50 event, a two-day celebration that reflected on Unix’s past and explored the future of computing. Speakers and panelists included many of the original team that built Unix and designed the C programming language, as well as luminaries in the fields of computing and robotics. The event also featured a gallery of Unix artifacts, a coding challenge that required students to program robots to navigate the industrial spaces of the future, and numerous other activities drawing on Unix’s rich and colorful history at Bell Labs.
