Linus Torvalds, while writing about the future of Linux in his autobiography 'Just For Fun', said Linux will be used in cell phones in near future. He wrote this in 2000. After 16 years, we see Android (based on Linux Kernel) in over a billion cell phones! What a visionary! Makes me wonder!

    This is a really interesting fact that I haven't heard of before. I'm writing a little research about famous people for my college project, and your post got me thinking about writing about Linus. Reading the papers of other writers at https://edubirdie.com/examples/... I was surprised at how scientists, politicians and some celebrities could understand what the future holds for us. This realization makes me think about the great potential of autobiographies in reflecting the views of influential personalities and exploring this topic with even more inspiration.
