Who was Alan Mathison Turing?
Correct answer: Cryptanalyst, mathematician, computer scientist
Briar75
I honestly wouldn’t have known much about him if it hadn’t been for the film “the Imitation Game” It amazes me how someone could do so much for their nation and then be prosecuted for simply being themselves.

Such a British attitude! A brilliant man with a brilliant mind. RIP ALAN TURING.

Just watched "Imitation Game". It was awesome. I'm assuming he was autistic too.

I sometimes wonder about such hyper intelligent people. They achieve greatness in so many diverse disciplines. Look at Alan Turing. Computer Science, Biology etc.
Noëlla
it should also be mentioned that he ate the poison apple and the APPLE logo is a great reminder of Turing's life and work!

Briar75, 100% agree,

Typical government admitting they're wrong when it's waaaaay too late.....

Zizzlestix , medically not actually. Amounts to the same thing though. After all he did to be treated like that. Some African countries are bringing in the death penalty for homosexuality.
It seems things are getting worse not better.

Briar75, I agree. but narrow minded people can always find some way to interpret the bible to back their prejudices. and homosexuality was illegal in Britain but not lesbianism b.c. Q. Vic. did not believe women could do that!
