100th Birthday of Alan Turing

Today would have been the 100th birthday of Alan Turing. Turning in so many ways represents the Diesel Era. He represents the greatness of that era in that he was a mathematical genius who is considered the father of the modern computer and artificial intelligence. However, he was also a victim of the homophobia of the time, which drove him to suicide in 1954.
