you said hello. This was Alan Turing. He was an ordinary man who made tremendous accomplishments during his lifetime that contributed towards computer science. He has been interested in science ever since he was young‚ which influenced him throughout his life. His incredible thinking during World War II led to his success in the computer science world. When he ended his life‚ he wouldn’t have expected the reaction the world had to his machine and what his machine led to. Alan Turing’s short term plan

The movie Is about Alan Turing‚ a genius British mathematician‚ Cryptographer‚ and computer pioneer who helped Allies to win the Second World War by breaking Enigma-a German code machine. During his days in boarding school‚ Alan was the target of bullies because he so concerned with neatness and order. And casted out as a deviant. From a Marx’s‚ conflict theory interprets society as a struggle for power between groups engaging in conflict between a dominant group and a subordinate group‚ it’s clear
