Bugs!!

Do you know how the name bug came into picture in computer world??? In computer world, a bug is a "mistake" in a program whereas in real world, a bug is kind of "moth". Then how these two were related?? Here is the answer:

In early days of computer, when its hardware is very sensitive, a small moth caused a relay to fail when Aiken, Hopper were working on Harvard Mark1 computer. Hopper and other programmers taped the deceased moth in a log book with the note "First actual case of bug being found."

The log book is currently on the display at Navel Museum in Dahlgren, Virginia. This was the first computer documented bug.

Professor Aiken would come into the facility during a slack time and inquire if any numbers were being computed. Then the programmers would reply that they were debugging the computer!!!!!

In this way we bug came into computer world !!
