First Computer Virus (1971)

Episode Summary

On this episode we talk about the First Computer Virus, a little fella called Creeper that just creeped from one computer to another on a network in 1971... Plus, we discuss other viruses, virus protection, memetic/viral ideas, and AI... perhaps the ultimate self-driven, self-propagating program that's gonna do more than just creep. Then we dig into the Mouthgarf Report, play some more I See What You Did There, and laugh nervously as we're knowingly observed by our data-collecting overlords-to-be.
