Without Alan Turin, you'd be speaking
German...or dead! |
In England UK, on Saturday 30 June 2012 Bletchley Park's Turing Education Day will celebrate Turing's life and legacy. A team of first rate communicators from around the globe will assemble at Bletchley Park to explain Turing's work and ideas in a series of short lectures designed to make the work of a genius accessible to all.

Alan Turing changed the world. His career moved from crescendo to crescendo as he invented the fundamentals of the modern computer, played a key role in winning the 1941 Battle of the Atlantic, invented the first systematic method for cracking high-level 'Tunny' messages between Hitler and his front line generals, designed what was at the time, the fastest and first electronic computer on earth, and pioneered the new fields of Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life.

The word "genius" has been endlessly debased by the likes of tubes who think that receiving a hot coffee and doughnut in exchange for parting with the appropriate coinage is, "awesome".
Alan Turin, Albert Einstein and perhaps five other people in the 20th century are entitled to the accolade of genius...the rest were just clever chaps and chapesses.
