Fact: The term "computer bug" originated from an actual bug found in a computer.
Detail: In 1947, computer scientist Grace Hopper and her team discovered a moth trapped in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer. The moth caused the machine to malfunction, and after removing it, they taped the moth into the logbook with the note, "First actual case of bug being found." This incident led to the use of the term "debugging" for fixing computer issues.
