The first computer bug was formed by faulty wires.

  • False
  • True
Explanation

The statement "The first computer bug was formed by faulty wires" is false. The term "computer bug" originated in the mid-20th century when a moth got stuck in the relay contacts of Harvard University's Mark II computer, causing a malfunction. This incident was recorded as the first literal instance of a "bug" causing a computer problem. Faulty wires might have caused issues in early computers, but the actual term "computer bug" was coined due to the moth incident, not faulty wires.
