What’s the difference between “glitch” and “lag”? For instance: my computer shows that it’s 1601 year now but when I restart it everything is fine. How do u call that? Glitch or lag?

A 'glitch' is where something goes wrong with something electronic. Usually something to do with the program, rather than the hardware. So something that's 'glitching' isn't working how it should. Your computer date sometimes switching to the wrong year (without you setting it as that) would be a glitch. 'Lag' is where there's a delay. It's used outside of computing, but tends to mostly be used where a poor internet connection is causing the delay. So if your computer is 'lagging', then you'll have a hard time playing Fortnight. On a related note there's also the terms 'bug' and 'crash'. A 'bug' happens when there's an error in the code of a program. A bugged program may cause glitches or crashes. A 'crash' is where something happens that totally stops what you're doing. Maybe it when it 'crashes' that makes the computer shut down or reboot, maybe just the program closes or stops doing things, or maybe your computer 'freezes' and stops responding to anything until you turn the power off.

Hey Elena! A 'glitch' is a problem with a computer or machine. It means that there is something wrong with the computer. e.g. My computer is glitching, I can't type anything. A 'lag' means there is a slight delay in something / something is slow. It is mostly used when talking on the phone or on Skype. e.g. I called my mum today but there was a bit of a lag so it was difficult to talk. For this reason the answer to your question is glitch. I hope this helps! Cody

That's a glitch, a lag is more like a delay.
