This will be one of our main sources that we use for this project. It is the textbook for this class, and it has a lot of good information about computer reliability and how it can also be unreliable. It is credible because it is our class textbook, but also because it lists all of the references and sources where it got the information at the end of each chapter, so it can be double checked fairly easily.

McFarland, Michael. (2012). The human cost of computer errors. Santa Clara University Journal. Retrieved from http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing /focusareas /technology /internet/privacy/computer-errors.html This article talks about how computer errors and glitches can have harmful effects on people. It is a system that was being used where a computer has information on all of the people and it helps the police decide who should be arrested for certain crimes. There was an error and that was making innocent people be arrested, and the authorities were blindly following the computers and arresting people. The article is useful because it doesn’t just talk about how computers can be unreliable, but it shows how the unreliability can actually affect real people.

Today’s computer systems are highly complex. With the increase of technology used to create more powerful computer systems, so does the increase of failure become more possible. Today computer technology is expected to run effectively as well as efficiently for the purpose in which it was designed. Even through extensive debugging problems still arise. There are ways of dealing with these problems, but the most effective way is to
