Mark One - A Bug in a Machine

The mark one was the first computer to be programmable. The engineers working on it kept log books detailing everything that they did, including all the many things that went wrong. Many of Hopper's doodles look like bugs and her favourite is a worm-like creature called 'tape worms' On September 9, 19 forty seven, while testing their new machine, scientists found an actual dead moth in its casing. It was the first case of a bug being found after the war ended jobs for women.
