Watch new AT&T Archive films every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at http://techchannel.att.com/archives In the late 1960s, Bell Laboratories computer scientists Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson started work on a project that was inspired by an operating system called Multics, a joint project of MIT, GE, and Bell Labs. The host and narrator of this film, Victor Vyssotsky, also had worked on the Multics project. Ritchie and Thompson, recognizing some of the problems with the Multics OS, set out to create a more useful, flexible, and portable system for programmers to work with. What's fascinating about the growth of UNIX is the long amount of time that it was given to develop, almost organically, and based on the needs of the users and programmers. The first installation of the program was done as late as 1972 (on a NY Telephone branch computer). It was in conjunction with the refinement of the C programming language, principally designed by Dennis Ritchie. Because the Bell System had limitations placed by the government that prevented them from selling software, UNIX was made available under license to universities and the government. This helped further its development, as well as making it a more "open" system. This film "The UNIX System: Making Computers More Productive", is one of two that Bell Labs made in 1982 about UNIX's significance, impact and usability. Even 10 years after its first installation, it's still an introduction to the system. The other film, "The UNIX System: Making Computers Easier to Use", is roughly the same, only a little shorter. The former film was geared towards software developers and computer science students, the latter towards programmers specifically. The film contains interviews with primary developers Ritchie, Thompson, Brian Kernighan, and many others. While widespread use of UNIX has waned, most modern operating systems have at least a conceptual foundation in UNIX. Footage courtesy of AT&T Archives and History Center, Warren, NJ

Mar 6, 2012 - Check out the Ultimate Model S keyboard from Das Keyboard. I use one at work, and it's heavenly.

Apr 26, 2012 - ATT is where the whole kit and caboodle started--Arguably C and Unix form the very basis of our entire intellectual enterprise. Harnessing all the great programming languages under the aegis of Unix from Lisp, Fortran, C, Algol, to modern Perl, Python and C++ and Java--they all are an integral foundation of our everyday life. This video gives a superb snapshot of the heritage of ATT's research and personnel at a seminal time in computing.

Apr 29, 2012 - I think that's a keyboard. Keyboards were more slanted and more bulky back then.

May 14, 2012 - and those key boards,like anything old, was a stout solid mechanical keyboard, one that i would pay 100 for now over these cheap plastic disposable things we have now. I wonder if one could convert it to wireless using components from modern wireless tech?

May 15, 2012 - Thanks for this. I worked there and I never thought about things the same way afterwards.

Feb 26, 2012 - With today's ultra-thin keyboard (think Apple's latest aluminum models), it's hard to believe we could actually get any work done on those thick things. But actually, I could edit code much faster with keyboards that had taller key caps like the old Apple Extended Keyboard. The new thin ones give your fingers no tactile road map when moving to different areas like the 6-key group above the arrow keys. Seeing the tiny screen sizes in enormous cases is a hoot.
