I don’t know if anyone here knows this, but Unix is essentially everything computer-based. Steve Jobs had his own innovations, but man is essentially the sole reason why the internet exists. 

Did not expect this. Rest in peace, sir.

this man basically gave birth to the internet

I don’t think it’s necessary to belittle Steve Jobs in order to ask for some recognition of the achievements of Dennis Ritchie. Steve Jobs was also someone who had new ideas and innovations that changed the computing industry.

On a side note, Dennis Ritchie was my dad’s lecturer at university for a year.
