Snippet
The
word
bug
has
been
used
to
describe
an
"object
of
terror"
ever
since
the
fourteenth
century.
Rear
Admiral
Dr.
Grace
Hopper,
the
inventor
of
COBOL,
is
credited
with
observing
the
first
computer
bug
-
literally,
a
moth
caught
in
a
relay
in
an
early
computer
system.
When
asked
to
explain
why
the
machine
wasn't
behaving
as
intended,
a
technician
reported
that
there
was
"a
bug
in
the
system,"
and
dutifully
taped
it
-
wings
and
all
-
into
the
log
book.
