The text states that the first computer 'bug' was an actual moth that got trapped in 1947.
The claim that the world's first computer 'bug' was an actual insect is historically accurate. In 1947, a moth was discovered in the Mark II computer at Harvard University, leading to the first recorded instance of a 'bug' in computing. This incident popularized the term 'debugging,' which is still used today. Multiple credible sources corroborate this event, including a historical entry from a computer log maintained by the Smithsonian Institution. Therefore, both claims are verified as true, supported by historical documentation and reputable sources.
