"Instruction tables will have to be made up by mathematicians with computing experience and perhaps a certain puzzle-solving ability. [...] This process of constructing instruction tables should be very fascinating. There need be no real danger of it ever becoming a drudge, for any processes that are quite mechanical may be turned over to the machine itself." -- Alan Turing (b. 1912-06-23, d. 1954-06-07), 1946 proposal for an electronic calculator.
