The First Computer Bug:
Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1945. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program".

lol, actually, your kind of right, but punch cards couldnt handle the amount of primitive data. The tried to attach cards together, but it was to cumbersom. Thus the punch tape was born and used up until 1990 believe it or not!
