![]() ![]() Until recently, Alan Turing had often been overlooked as an important figure in history. ![]() In his later life, Turing even dabbled in artificial intelligence, and biology, creating concepts that are still being investigated today. Alan Turing was one of the most significant figures in the Allied victory of World War Two, thanks to his ingenious code breaking skills and the invention of the British Bombe at Bletchley Park. Impressive as they are, though, Turing's contributions to computer science are not necessarily his most famous or influential projects. Turing is known by many as the Father of the Modern Computer for his conception of the theoretical stored-memory machine (known as the Turing Machine) and for the subsequent implementation of this idea in the creation of some of the world's first working computers, the Automatic Computing Engine, and the Manchester Mark 1.
