Grace Hopper

Back


Grace Hopper was one of the first computer programmers ever (the Harvard Mark I calculator (1943)) and one of the designers of COBOL (gasp!) She coined the term "debugging" for removing errors from computer programs. A legend in computer science. Here she is chatting to a TV show host on 2 October 1986 (taped from a repeat broadcast in the early '90s). I hope that by avoiding mentioning the name of the TV show, this clip survives a little bit longer here before the de rigeur imbecilic request for its removal arrives. The shows are not available commercially on video.
