A software glitch may have resulted in the death's of 9 people, the South African Defense Force has said.
I think this is an important world event because as countries become more and more advanced, incidents like this will become more common place. Software developers are often rushed and products aren't given the testing time they deserve. Computer bugs are a very big problem for any country that uses software. There is the problem of hackers, and when you mix that in with what can happen with bugs by themselves, it's a wonder why bigger things don't happen more often... Or maybe they do and just get covered up?
Anyways, as we enter web 3.0, I guess we'll see what happens.
