How Did Alan Turing Change The World
Do you imagine yourself taking advices from the one who saved us from
extinction? Alan Turing was a great mathematician and he is the father of Computer
Science and Digital Electronics. He also was the first scientist that thought that
machines could actually learn, but one of the most important things about him is the fact
that he helped defeating the Nazis by cracking the “Enigma code”. So, there are several
reasons why anybody would be lucky to meet him: to know about history, how he
thought and how to change the world.
The first important reason to meet Alan Turing is that he lived during the World
War. In that time the Nazis were almost everywhere and it was very difficult to have a
regular lifestyle without being involved …show more content…
Of course that back on that time all the technology
was very obsolete according to what he was trying to build, so he introduced a new way
of seeing things, with only ones and zeros, in binary. That discovery seemed an absurd
idea and a waste of time to his coworkers, but through several iterations and operations,
his machine achieved Turing’s goal, to change the course of history breaking Enigma
Changing the future of the world is that one thing that all of us should have in
mind, and Alan Turing could answer us a lot of doubts in this field. For example, he
always said that it is not enough to try, you need to accomplish your goal, and if you do
not succeed at first, you need to keep trying. Besides changing the course of the war,
Alan Turing had to convince his government that his idea would work, and the way he
did it was by showing all the evidence that supported his work. His ideology of why to
stick to conventional ways of doing something helped him, and it could help us too, we
just need to find the problem that we want to solve and think about how to think out of
the box.
Both conventional thinking and thinking out of the box can lead you to
