Is computation a new or an old phenomenon? The word algorithm (although named after Alkhawarizmi), is not hundreds of years old. It is thousands of years old. Although computers were only invented in the 20th century, computation is a very old phenomenon. In this talk, we discuss the evolution of the concept of computation from a logical point of view.
