Alan Turing was born June 23rd 1912 Maida Vale and died June 7 1954 Wilmslow. In that period of time he inspired millions of people all across the world.
It all strted off with the Enigma, which was a coded pattern maker. The Enigma printed patterns, shapes, colours and this was the first ever computer. Compared to now, the Enigma sounds rubbish but back when it was made it was the start of a new generation of computers.
