The text has errors. E.g.

> This OOP was created in 1962

No. The 1962 Simula I version was a dedicated simulation language and didn't feature inheritance or virtual methods. The features we today consider "object-oriented" were introduced with Simula 67, which was conceived as a general purpose programming language, not only a simulation language.

> the name “Simula” was gotten from two simulation programming languages, Simula 67 and Simula I

Only Simula I was dedicated to simulation; Simula 67 was a general purpose PL; Simula I was frist called "Simula"; the suffix was added later.

Anyway, the text reads as if it was generated.
