Alan Turing
-
Computer Science, computer history cannot be discussed without the mention of Alan Turing.
Famous for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test. A test which will become more relevant in the coming years. Genius has been banded around too much in modern big internet & mobile communication companies, but here we have a true genius. Just imagine the greatness that would have come from the mind of this man if left to live freely.
Of course saving millions of lives through deciphering the enigma code.
1912 - 1954 (Aged 41)
Quotes:
"Those who can imagine anything, can create the impossible."
"A man provided with paper, pencil, and eraser, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine."
