Why we call them bugs???
-
Any error made in an application is refferd to as bug.Why? Why not something else... Ok.Lets suggest new names for BUGS!!!!! ;P
The name bug is as old as computers. Dear Grace Hopper[^] explained how the radar equipment was failing due to bugs [they flew into the system and caused valves to blow] and the name has stayed ever since. If you're brace enough to suggest something else go ahead. I won't.

OK, we'll call them sujit0761s. I'm not sure you want that kind of infamy though.

I don't like the habit of giving every incident a number. Is it really fair to talk about bug #1783? What does that tell you about itself? Nothing. All bugs should be given descriptive names, like "Hell bitch exception when the user tries to repeatedly press enter quickly" That would be so much more fun in the long run. A whole new job could be created, a "Software Bug Taxonomist" who names and classifies bugs.

Electrical wire was used to make connections (people actually had to move the connections by hand (hence the term "hard-wired" we use in software today). This waire used paper for insulation, and insects would ingest the insulation, cause shorts between wires, in turn causing the computer to malfunction. That's why we call software issues "bugs".

The first bug, on September 9, 1945, was an actual bug.
