  • Summary

  • “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done” - Alan Turing

    In today’s episode of Glitch we will be talking about this great mathematician Alan Turing and why he is known as the Father of modern computers.

    Turing's legacy is huge. We live in a world full of computers, thanks to the work of Alan Turing. The basic principle of the modern computer—the idea of controlling the machine's operations by means of programming instructions and storing it in the computer's memory—was conceived by Alan Turing.

    Turning machines are the blueprint of the modern day computers, anything from your desktop to your smart phones or the computers in the international space station are based on the Turing’s model.

    Anything that can be computed can in principle be done by Turning machine. If a Turning machine can’t compute it, it’s not computable.

    Even though the model was conceived more than 90 years ago, Currently there are no working model for computation is more powerful than Turing’s.
