That was what I thought too.

Definition of programming can be represented in a broad form. Programming 
in a short as considerably lacking of proper categorization would be the 
art of creating a sequence of instructions that tell a electronic device 
what tasks to perform. In "computing programming" it is a bit more 
definitive and would follow in the light of what a programming language 
is (for computers) and what a program (for computers) is.

If you take the out of the computer programming field then you are 
falling outside the context of the field and the meaning alters 
accordingly to the use within the other fields respectfully. Some people 
may think I am a dinosaur on these terms but I am the big dinosaur that 
will bite you in the ass because I would be sick and tired of every 
f*cking 5 years people are trying to change the definition of everything. 
Then every f*cking generation, we have each generation trying to change 
the whole f*cking language we a speaking altogether so English in one 
generation is alien to another. If you are going to do that, why don't 
you come up with a new name for the language and at least that will make 
sense.

I can see building on the definition of evolve on the definition instead 
of taking revolutions and destroying it all and making new. At least in 
an evolutionary process on definition - you have a logical sequence and 
process of definitional development and evolvement.
