But history has proven that it doesn't take long before such theories and models change the world, as quantum mechanics did with modern electronics. In The Diamond Age, Stephenson does a very good job . This question can be reformulated: Some computer scientists acknowledge interest in language-based theories (especially formal languages) concerning what is needed to successfully “communicate” with a machine. Sometimes a compiler doesn't exist. Hopcroft, Rajeev Motwani and Jeffrey D. What's your crystal ball guess for the status of theoretical computer science vs “traditional mathematics” in 2100? Wouldn't it be nice if determining .. In 1936, Turing introduced an abstract device capable of performing all kinds of symbolic computations, a precursor of modern computers that would become known as the Turing machine. For a formal, mathematical approach I recommend Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation by John E. David Evans, Introduction to Computing: Explorations in Language, Logic, and Machines. A compiler is a short program that translates between computer languages or, in this case, between machines. The subject of this article is easy to describe: Semioticians argue that their knowledge domain is relevant to computer science. Still others think you should generally agree with the scientific consensus until it is disproved. David Harel, Computers Ltd.: What They Really Can't Do (Oxford, 2000). But if so, then why do computer scientists, with very few exceptions, continue to ignore semiotics?
