ENIAC at U of P was driven by vacuum tubes. One day it had a problem which was caused by a vacuum tube with an actual bug inside of it...term eventually became commonly used when software didn't always behave...Hopper wasn't involved.
I was probably one of the last people to teach COBOL in my state. One of my schools was still teaching it 8-10 years ago.
I teach Python and C++ now. :-)
