| A term
used to describe issues
with hardware
or software.
For example,
Grace
Hopper logged and taped a moth bug in a log book that caused
issues with the Mark II after it was discovered in one of its
components. This is often considered the first use of the term bug;
however, there are many other earlier accounts of bug being used to
describe a problem with electrical circuits and hardware. Today,
computer software bugs are often resolved by running a
software patches and resolvable
hardware bugs are fixed with firmware
updates and/or replacement of hardware components.
- Additional information and pictures of the Log Book with the
mother still taped in it can be
