Fact of the day: The first ‘computer bug’ was an insect
When we talk about computer bugs, we talk about the glitches we see on websites (even in the SDC). But did you know that the first recorded 'computer bug' was an actual insect?
The first ‘bug’ was a moth that got stuck inside a computer’s circuits in 1947.
Scientist Grace Hopper found it and joked about 'debugging' the system, and the term has been used ever since.
