Turing's discussion of digital computers —
In this bit of his 1950 paper, Turing identifies the computer as a
processing and storage system, not as a computational device.

Capurro - Information semantic shift article —
Though this paper is about the semantic shift in information and
message, I like how it disentangles a semantic shift of an allied term.
I would like to do something similar with computation.

The Arithometer —
The first widely used calculating machine. The Arithometer was in use
from the 1860 to this final version produced in 1914.

Logic gates —
Again, the process of the computer chip is not so calculative as it is
logical. It is a process of logical choices of input. Turing’s point
was that these logical choices, assembled in a process, could emulate
any calculative process.

Alan Kay's KiddieKomp Computer —
this shows how in the early stages of SRI and PARC’s work on the
personal computer, they were media and education devices. This shows
how the goals were not at all about computation, but about media and
information work and coding.

Von Neumann (EDVAC + Errors) —
I like the idea of fragments (re: Arcades Project) — perhaps we’d need
to find a combinatorics of fragments.
