Weekly Dooley: 23

Computers in the Wild

This week's fun tech trivia question: What was the first computer virus to spread "in the wild" (outside of a controlled environment)?


Leave your guesses below and check back later today for the answer!


Answer: Elk Cloner! It was created in 1982 by programmer and entrepreneur Rich Skrenta when he was just 15 years-old. It infected Apple II computers via floppy disks and displayed a humorous poem every 50th boot!


Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
