Alan Turing's Game Changer

       Alan Turing was an influential game changer in WW2. Alan Turing while best known for breaking the German enigma machine codes to win WW2 for the allies also is the father of modern computer science. Alan Turing invented the Turing Test that forms the basis of artificial intelligence. The Turing Test also known as the "Imitation Game" was used for human and machine outputs to measure AI intelligence. The Turing Test proved that automatic computation cannot solve all mathematical problems. Alan Turing also invented many of the cryptography that safe guards modern computer and communications devices today. Alan was inspired by his childhood friend Christopher Malcom who also inspired Alan's love of quantum physics and advanced mathematics. Unfortunately Christopher died young due to Tuberculosis. Besides effectively defeating the Nazis without stepping foot on the battle field, Alan Turing opened up the basics of modern computing. Mobile phones, IPads and Faceboo...
