An Important Invention in Computers: The First Computer invented by Alan Turing

  • Period: to

    Turing attends The University of Cambridge

    Studying mathematical computer science and philosophy. Had an interest in the field because of his abilities to understand, solve, and enjoy the ideas of Albert Einstein. Considered a skilled math genius and evolved while discovering new technologies.
  • Period: to

    Turing interests being with computers

    Turing studied differential patterns and definitive methods to perform a task to reason how many possible solutions the system may have. He invented and imaged that his Universal Machine could decode any possible number set. This began the first running modern computer.

    Specifically the British government hired him to help determine the messages, threats, and positions of the enemy Nazis during World War II. Helped channel messages that helped the British win that war. This is Turing with the machine actually changing the dials as they generate the message trying to decode each numbers or symbols.

    How the Universal Computer Processes Codes
    Is a machine capable of a finite set of configurations that is supplied with a one-way infinite and one-dimensional tape divided into squares each capable of carrying exactly one symbol. At any moment the behavior of the machine is completely determined by the current state and symbol (called the configuration) being scanned which decodes these hidden messages. This allowed many messaged to be solved during the WWII and to help Turing develop his studies in computer science.

    How Universal Machines impacted our Computers Today
    Turing wished overall to create computers that were digital, electronic, and grant us general purposes that are useful.His foundational ideas upstreamed ideas within technology with led to hand held phones, to touch screen glass, and now flippable glass screen phones. Even with computers we have advanced from heavy desktop to thin tablet or laptop that is essential to take everywhere. Alan Turing made a impact both scientifically and economically for the technology part of life.
