The genius of this man was reflected in many ways, through his work with computer sciences as well as his lifestyle as an openly gay man. To me, the attributes described go hand and hand with his success and determination.
I also believe his diverse background, traveling with his family allowed for his mind to wonder, and be exposed to different lifestyles, thus, he was able to really think outside of the box and create.
What Allen Turing pioneered was remarkable, and interestingly enough began in the government/ military work. Turing developed many codes and figured out many things for the German government, including working with the Enigma machine (secret codes!) during WWII.
Allen Turing's work undoubtedly helped in the creation of the first computers,
Another interesting aspect of his life was his work on the Turing Test, which essentially came from him challenging and exploring the importance of artificial intelligence. "The idea was that a computer could be said to "think" if a human interrogator could not tell it apart, through conversation, from a human being." WIKI!! (ROBOTS THINK!!)
Now this idea, and his early versions of computer systems has been paired together in modern technology!
I wonder what he would say if he were here today!
