Confusing piece. By its logic, Aristotle also “influenced” quantum physics. We all of course stand on the shoulders of giants, but given the rate of development of computing in the last 100 years, claiming that its ideas originated 2,300 years ago doesn’t contribute much to understanding of what is going on.
- foysavas 4y agoTh article traces the development of computers back through the development of symbolic logic. It may seem silly to connect to such ancient history, but the path from then to now has left a large backlog for future technologists to resurface.
