MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 9 - The latest Google Doodle honored the birthday Monday of Grace Hopper, the former U. S. naval officer who helped make computer programming more user friendly. Hopper may be best known for her role in creating the Common Business Oriented Language, COBOL, which allowed computers to handle words instead of numbers, revolutionizing programming, CNET.com reported. As a World War II naval officer, she was one of the first programmers to use Harvard's Mark I computer. While the term had been used to describe technical glitches, the discovery of a moth in a computer by one of Hopper's team members sparked a surge in its popularity.
