Computer "bug"

The computer term "bug" was first used at Harvard University in August 1945 when the Mark I computer project staff noticed something wrong with one of the computer's circuits. After a lengthy search, a two-inch moth was located and removed from one of the computer cabinets. From then on computer problems were referred to as bugs.
