I understand that machines fail for numerous physical reasons, however, I’ve never understood how computer or programs that were working fine all along can suddenly crash or break down if there’s no moving parts and the code hasn’t been otherwise recently patched or updated. This has bugged me for over 25 years and it finally occurred to me that I should it.

Failures happen when something unexpected happens. Computers follow instructions perfectly. But what happens if something out of the program’s control happens. Someone enters invalid data, a file gets corrupted, the computer runs out of memory, etc. Programs can’t test for every unexpected occurrence.
It’s like going through a maze if you have the directions through it. What if one of the passages is blocked. Then what.. you get lost.
