liveware
People using computers
Liveware is jocular computing slang for human beings, by analogy with hardware and software.
The term highlights that people are components of computer systems too—often the most unpredictable ones: The bug turned out to be a liveware problem.
Sometimes used self-deprecatingly when human error causes technical difficulties.
