A computer is an automaton that only does exactly what it is told to do. Any error in the instructions provided results in an error in what it does. A very simple error can have (and has had) fatal consequences if the computer is involved in controlling critical systems (e.g. airplanes, spacecraft, medical equipment, power plants).
