Alan Turing

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la història del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informàtica i els ordinadors.

 

Alan Turing es pot anomenar el Pare de la Informàtica, ja que fou ell qui teoritzà el funcionament dels ordinadors, i contribuí fonamentalment a la seva construcció. Malauradament, al final de la seva vida és tragic per algú que contribuí a salvar tants milers de vides escurçant la Segona Guerra Mundial.

========================================================

 

Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).

 

Alan Turing is the father of computing; he layed out the theory and was involved in the development of the first computers. Sadly, all his huge contribution to shortening WWII and thus saving hundreds of lives wasn't recognized, and even died in terrible circunstances.
