Allen Turing

Allen Turing was born in 1912 and grew up to be a very intelligent man. However, he wasn't treated fairly for a few reasons and I feel that might have caused his death.

Allen Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist, cryptanalyst and the man who invented the first computer to decrypt coded German messages during World War II. Additionally, Turing was the one who came up with the Turing Test, an online test he and one of his fellow undergraduate collegues created. At first, Turing and his collegue started to write a chess program for a computer that at the time didn't exist yet. When the computer was created, Turing created the chess program in which he simulated the computer playing chess with other people. In 1952, the program was finally completed and deemed the Turochamp. This chess program eventually lost to Turing's collegue Alick Glennie. Glennie was too clever.

That was one of the many accomplishments Turing had. The biggest accomplishment was of course the computer that helped to decrypt the German's messages. Each message that was decrypted explained where the Germans were going to attack next. Turing successfully decrtypted the Enigma (that was the name of the German machine) and was a hero to all (at the time of WWII). I feel that Turing should have always been a hero. Unfortunately, Turing's location of where the Enigma was decrypted wasn't released until ten years ago in 2005. The location was Bletchley Park in Hut 8. Overall, Turing was a very intelligent individual and he should have been treated a lot better for being so smart and helping the British with the coding machine.
