Code containing global variables is harder to modify because its behaviour may depend on and affect other sections of code that refer to that variable.

For example, when unifying the clause sad(X) :- computer(X, ibmpc). with the goal sad(billgates). the variable X will become bound to the atom "billgates" yielding the new subgoal "computer(billgates, ibmpc)".
