Human computer

Wikipedia articleDbpedia source
The term "computer", in use from the early 17th century (the first known written reference dates from 1613), meant "one who computes": a person performing mathematical calculations, before electronic computers became commercially available."The human computer is supposed to be following fixed rules; he has no authority to deviate from them in any detail." (Turing, 1950)Teams of people were frequently used to undertake long and often tedious calculations; the work was divided so that this could be done in parallel. The first time the term "Computer" appeared in The New York Times was February 3, 1853; an obituary stated: "Mr. Walker was widely known as an accomplished Astronomer and a skillful Computer." Since the end of the 20th century, the term "human computer" has also been applied to individuals with prodigious powers of mental arithmetic, also known as mental calculators.
