A talk by Linus Trovalds in TED FEB 2016

Linus torvalds here talks much about himself, how he is to other people what was he like in his childhood, things that led to the development of  Linux and git(yes he was behind it too a version control system used in the development of software). In the talk about how he felt about Google and other companies making millions by the kernel developed by him he just said he is good with that.The very thought of his when Linux was introduced to the open world that his creation might be taken advantage is what has happened.When asked whether he was a visionary he said no and added he was more of like a Thomas Edison type of person whom people disliked a lot yet had done a lot of things and would like to find solution to the problems that we face at hand rather than dream for a better world.

EPILOUGE

I have seen him from the very time when i was introduced to the world of computers. The man who made the computer world a better place which might have been just like the supermarket in our real world environment, compelling us to take what they give and paying the price that they ask. Many of the readers  might not understand it what is it to do with the super market and Linus Trovalds i am living in a "developing " country but with options. Back in time there were too many options too many competition it was just the matter of survival not business.People provided and people got what they provided for it was simple and was nearly sufficient for survival.But with the introduction of the monopolization we are beginning to get out of options even though they make us think that they are providing more options than any in the wide world.
