As we titter technologically, we might recall that it was on this date in 1988 that the first “computer worm” was unleashed.  The phrase was coined in in John Brunner’s 1975 novel, The Shockwave Rider; but the first worm was written and released thirteen years later by Robert Tappan Morris, a Cornell University computer science graduate student.  Morris also has the distinction of being the first person tried and convicted under the 1986 federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
