Well, it's true, but let's be honest, it's not exactly something to celebrate. We can't give a standing ovation for something that caused so much technological chaos!

In 1971, a man named Bob Thomas created the first computer virus, which he called the "Creeper virus." The virus spread through ARPANET, the predecessor to the internet, and displayed a message that said, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!"

While it might sound like a harmless prank, this was the beginning of a new era in computer security. The Creeper virus showed that computers were vulnerable to malicious software, and it paved the way for the development of anti-virus programs.

Now, we have a whole industry dedicated to protecting our computers from viruses, malware, and other threats. We have firewalls, encryption, and all kinds of other fancy-sounding tools to keep us safe in the digital world. And yet, we still have to be careful not to click on that suspicious-looking email from a Nigerian prince.

So, let's take a moment to remember the humble beginnings of computer viruses, and let's also take a moment to thank the developers who are working tirelessly to keep us safe from these digital pests. And if you happen to come across the Creeper virus while browsing through some ancient computer history, just remember to catch it if you can!
