๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ Fun Fact

*****"Undo" Feature - A Happy Accident***** - Ever made a mistake while typing and been saved by the "undo" button? You can thank a programmer's typo for that! Back in the 1970s, a computer scientist named Warren Teitelman accidentally deleted a bunch of code and wished he could reverse it. This frustration inspired him to create the first "undo" function, which has become a staple in almost every application we use today. So, next time you undo a mistake, remember it was a happy accident that made our digital lives a lot easier!
