I did some reading and here is what I found:

First computer bug:

The first computer bug ever reported was discovered by Grace Hopper (A mathematition and pioneer programer) who was working on the Harvard Mark 1 computer during the 1940s time period. She was troubleshooting a system failier when she discovered a small moth traped inside a mechanical relay inside the computer. Ever since the process of troubleshooting the computer was refered to as debugging, thus the term computer bug.

Origin of the C language:

C was created by a man named Dennis Ritchie who was working for AT&T Bell laboratorys in 1972. He created the C language not for fun but for a purpose. the purpose was to create the Unix operating system. Previously there was a B language invented at Bell so they decided to call this one C.

Origin of Linux:

A man named Linus Torvalds who was a computer science student at the university of Helsinki purchased a brand new 386 IBM computer, un happy with the operating system he wanted a difernt operating system. He wanted Unix, but Unix was nt free so he decided to make a free veersion of the Linux operating system called Linux, he got together with a group of hackers and set out to develop the Linux kernel. In 1991 October 5th he released the first version of the linux kernel.
