Basilio, Gabriel Chester D. PPL CCIS5A Activity 1 Read the article \"*CREATORS ADMIT UNIX, C HOAX* \" and make a reaction. The article shares an interesting story about UNIX and C, two foundational elements in computer science. According to the article, the creators originally intended them as a complex joke, designing the system and language to be deliberately difficult to understand. They introduced numerous intricate features to make them even more challenging. Ironically, despite their complexity, UNIX and C became widely adopted and integral to the computing world. The article concludes with an amusing anecdote about the early days of computing and the people behind these innovations. My Reaction: I think the article is really funny. It\'s crazy to think that people made UNIX and C as a joke, but look how important they are now. It\'s like when you make fun of something and then it becomes super useful. We often don\'t know what great things can come from silly ideas. It shows how smart and hard-working some people are to turn a joke into something amazing. Like they said "*You are crazy until you are successful".*
