Alan Turing

Alan Turing was a man that revolutionized computing and coding. This paper talks about his accomplishments in his short life. At his early 20's he began to do research in Manchester university in computing. However, he is most known for his work in breaking the Nazi communications called "Enigma". He was a very independent guy, he liked to work alone and almost got rid of his team mid-way through the process. He built a machine that would be able to think by itself(computer) and decode enigma. This machine helped end the war early and Alan became an unsung hero in the war.

  1. Alan Turing was definitely one of the most important people of the 20th century. Without his code breaking mechanisms, who knows how the war would have been different. He is someone in history that is often overlooked, but really shouldn't be.
