unix BasicsHistoryThe first version of unix was developed by Bell Labs (part of AT&T) in 1969, making it more than forty years old and one of the few cases of a computer technology that has survived more than a decade. Its roots go back to when computers were large and rare, time on them very expensive and shared between many users unix was designed from the beginning1 to have multiple users working simultaneously. While this might seem strange and unnecessary in a world where everyone has their own laptop, computing is again moving back to remote central services with many users: the compute power required for mapping next-generation sequencing data or de novo assembly is beyond what is available or desirable to have sitting on your lap. In many ways, the Cloud (or what ever has replaced it by the time you read this) requires ways of working that are more in common with traditional unix machines than the personal computing emphasised by Windows and Apple federal monopoly law prevented AT&T from commercialising unix but interest in using it increased outside of Bell Labs and eventually they decided to give it away freely, including the source code, which allowed other institutions to modify it.
