ALAN TURING, a British computer scientist and cryptanalyst, approaches the REGISTRAR, whoโs smoking a cigarette, holding a binder of papers titled, “On Computable Numbers.โ
TURING – โI wish to publish this into the societyโs records.โ
Turing hands the binder to the Registrar.
REGISTRAR – โSeems heavy.โ
TURING – โItโs my theoretical basis for what will become the modern computer.โ
REGISTRAR (busy shuffling papers) – โSounds neat, sign here.โ
TURING (as he signs) – โYou see, decision problems are undecidable using a theoretical machine. By coming up with my universal Turing machine, I am foreshadowing an actual digital computer.โ
REGISTRAR (grabbing the signed document from Turing) – โYup. Thank you.โ
Little did the Registrar know that she was holding the information that will impact everyoneโs future in her hands.
๐ค Turing is considered to be the father of artificial intelligence and of computer science. ๐ฅ๏ธ
๐ Today the Turing Award, the ‘Nobel prize of computing’ greatest honor is named in his honor.๐
๐๏ธ Also, they made a fantastic movie on the guy! ๐ฌ
#onthisday
๐ Chime in over here and let me know your thoughts on this fine achievement!
