Specifically, the one that caused a Mark III computer to malfunction in 1947.
On September 9, computer scientist Grace Hopper reported the world's first computer bug. A bug is a flaw or glitch in a system. Thomas Edison reported 'bugs' in his designs as early as the 1800s, but Hopper was the first to identify one in a computer.
In Hopper's case, it was literally a bug. Her coworkers at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, found that their computer was delivering consistent errors. When they opened the computer's hardware, they found . . . a moth. The trapped insect had disrupted the electronics of the computer.
Today, software bugs can impact the functioning, safety and security of computer operating systems. 'Debugging' and bug management are important parts of the computer science industry.
