Computer Bugs And Amazing Grace

Computer bugs are problems or mistakes in a program that wreak all sorts of computing havoc, but hunting for computer bugs doesn’t require a butterfly net or a can of Raid.

Why do we call computer bugs “bugs”, anyway?

As the story goes, pioneer computer programmer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper coined the phrase in the early 1940s, when her computer crashed. Searching for the cause of the problem, Admiral Hopper discovered the original computer bug, inside her computer, stuck in a crucial relay, was a dead moth.

As she extracted the moth with tweezers, a colleague asked what she was doing. “I’m debugging the machine,” she answered, and the stuff of computer legend was born. The dead moth was taped into a notebook that logged computer problems, and now it’s preserved for posterity at the Virginia Naval Museum.

Over the course of her Navy career, Admiral Grace Murray Hopper became known as Amazing Grace not only for her technical genius, but also for her ability to persuade people to try something new. Among other accomplishments, Admiral Hopper co-invented the COBOL computer language. COBOL, or Common Business Oriented Language, was the first computer language to use words instead of numbers.

When Admiral Hopper first proposed a computer language using words, people said it wouldn’t work because computers didn’t understand English! However, she persisted, and COBOL revolutionized the computer industry by making computer language easier for programmers to understand. Amazing Grace helped make computers more user-friendly, easier to “de-bug,” and accessible for use not just in military research labs, but in homes, schools, and businesses.

電腦漏洞（computer bug，bug中文又有“臭蟲，蟲子”之意）指的是會造成計算機中所有處理系統無法工作的程序問題或程序錯誤，但是尋捕電腦漏洞並不需要靠捕蟲網或殺蟲劑之類的東西。

那麼，我們爲什麼要將電腦漏洞稱爲“電腦臭蟲”呢？

故事是這樣的，20世紀40年代早期，電腦程序先驅海軍少將Grace Murray Hopper在其電腦崩潰的時候，首先創造了這種說法。就在她找尋電腦崩潰的`原因的時候，在電腦關鍵的繼電器上，她發現藏着一隻已經死掉的蛾子，這就是最初的“電腦臭蟲”（即電腦漏洞）。

當她用鑷子夾出這隻蛾子的時候，她的一個同事問她在做什麼，她回答道：“我在給這臺機子排除故障。”就這樣，一個電腦傳奇事物就此誕生。那隻蛾子被保存在記錄電腦故障的一本筆記本當中，如今，它被保存在弗吉尼亞海軍博物館中。

在Hopper少將的海軍生涯中，她因“神奇格蕾絲”的外號而被人們所熟知，不僅因爲她在技術方面的才幹，還因爲她有勸說他人去創新的能力。在其另外一些成就當中，她共同發明了計算機商業通用語言，這是第一種用文字取代數字的計算機語言。

當Hopper少將第一次提議在計算機語言中使用文字的時候，人們都說這不會實現，因爲計算機不懂英語！然而，她堅持了下來。結果COBOL使計算機語言更容易被程序員理解，從而變革了計算機業。神奇的格蕾絲使得計算機更爲親近使用者，更加容易排除故障，並使得電腦不僅只能用於軍方實驗室，還能用於家庭，學校以及商業上。
