Software bug

From GMpedia.org Wiki

Bugs are software errors, mistakes or flaws in computer software. Bugs should not be confused with viruses and the type of virus known as a worm.

[edit] Causes of bugs

The history of the term "computer bug" actually came from a mathematician in 1945, who was experiencing difficulties with a large calculator-type computer. When she opened it up to see what was wrong, there was a moth inside that caused a short circuit. That is why it is called a "bug" nowadays.

[edit] Effect of bugs
