Computers can appear to be stubborn for several reasons. One of the most accepted common arguments is that the computer follows its programming. Programs are of course software. Software is nothing but a set of written instructions to tell the computer what to do essentially how to think. When the instructions encounter something it doesn't know how to handle something called an error condition occurs. Programmers and engineers write something called error handling routines to keep the software running smoothly. It has slowly improved over the years.

Stubbornness in a computer can also mean it doesn't know any better. When a computer encounters something it doesn't know and it doesn't have the programming to resolve it, it will look stuck. Just as we experience different situations in our daily lives so does our computers.
