On this topic i would bring up
Galileo.
And i would also bring up
duality.
so the quote:
"The other terror that scares us from self trust is our consistency; a reverance for our past act or word because the eyes of others have no other Data for computer our orbit Than our past acts, and we are loth to disappoint them...."
Baically saying that the eyes of the past are watching. Since we are searching for thruth, we want to get it right.
Now for the fact that a computer is called a computer.
Origin: computer
1640–50; compute + -er 1 ; cf. MF computeur
a person who compues; computist
The current term for computer includes :
1.A device that computes, especially a programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations or that assembles, stores, correlates, or otherwise processes information.
In addition to the fore mentioned definition. This is probly due to the members of
Ma Bell.
They chose this word to describe a machine they built.
So the future tense, (present tense), use of the word computer was already universal
in the language that we uses. As opposed to making a new word that would have to be
learned.
