There are many references to it in public discussions, but trying to learn about it from Wikipedia is like reading in a new foreign language.

It’s a computer science concept that reduces a problem into a single simple instruction, or several simple instructions.

If you have a problem that can be reduced this way, it’s potentially possible that a computer can solve that problem.

For example, your problem is writing something down when you get some numbers. You don’t want to write the numbers down yourself. The problem you have and the solution to solve the problem is considered a Turing Machine because you can have a computer do that for you (like a printer).
