The True Story of the First Computer Bug
35Have you ever wondered where the term "computer bug" came from? It all dates back to 1947 when engineers were hard at work on the Harvard Mark II computer, one of the first machines of its kind. They encountered a puzzling glitch that brought their progress to a halt. When they opened up the giant machine to investigate, what did they find? A tiny moth! Yes, a real bug trapped inside the hardware was causing all the trouble.
This quirky incident not only gave us the term “computer bug,” but it also highlights the unexpected challenges of early computing. It’s a humorous reminder of how even the most advanced technology can have its hiccups. So, the next time you encounter a glitch in your software, just remember the engineers who had to deal with a literal bug in their machine. It’s a fun story that shows the playful side of innovation and how far we’ve come in our quest to keep technology running smoothly!
