The amount of time which has elapsed between Liebritz's first theoretical description of a computing machine and today's commonplace use of digital computers as extensions of Man's intellectual faculties is a little more than three hundred years. This period has witnessed the birth and death of many trends in the art of mechanical computing, some no more than fads and others becoming established as fundamental truths which are now accepted as axioms of computer science. One of the most firmly established of these latter trends is the quest for generality. As early as 1833, Charles Babbage discerned that in the ideal computing machine, the human operator should have completely flexible control not only over the data to be processed, but also over the algorithms.
