Some questions posted by the class after Lecture 2, October 4, 2016:

•     Will it be possible in the future to solve any problem with the use of computing?
•      How can we tell a Turing machine what is, for example, add, subtract?
•      How did the turing machine lead to the computers we have now?
•     Were there other methods of computing prior to the creation of the Turing Machine and if so how did these differ?
•    What precisely differentiates Turing machines?
•     How is universal Turing machine possible? How does it work?
•   What is a Von Neumann machine?
•      If everything is thought of to be a number or a symbol, how does computing work so that it     translates that information into words and actions? 
•    What exactly is an in memory program and is that something that is different in every hypothetical computer?
•    What is the relative time is takes for a turning machine to compute compared to a computer? Or a human?
•   Would the turing machine only be able to do arithmetic computation? Or can it also perform other tasks with written words?
•    What are the limitations of the Turing machine as a theoretical approach to computing?
•    Are/Will there be other models for computation, and if so, how would computers be different?
•    Would those computers have the same capabilities?
•    How is the Turing Machine being able to work with different sets of numbers remarkable?
•   Can universality only be true as long as a machine's system can be programmed differently?
•    To what extent have people tested the accuracy of this method, on paper?
