People did algorithms with pen and paper for years before there were computers. You don't get the thrill of having the machine do it for you, though - you have to do all the work.
I once lived in a time where there was no (accessible) computer. I spent long hours trying to imagine how I could build one, including making memory elements with neon bulbs.
