Alan Turing was born 104 years ago yesterday.

He committed suicide at the age of 42. Imagine what he could have achieved if not for the hatred and ignorance that persecuted him.

I remember reading for the first time, his paper on Computing Machinery and Intelligence..........

His paper can be read 40 years later and despite the major revolutions on Computer Science and Artifical intelligence, it still has significant importance.....



Ah, what could have been.......

A great man he was. I was quite impressed with the way he developed his own version of a machine called bombe that helped crack the enigma machine of the Germans of which the British govt. kept secret for years.

I not only think the impact he would have had if he wasn't dead; I think the same for Einstein.

I was sad when I read about him and how he died. He is widely referred to as the father of AI
