Turing was born in London on June 23, 1912. He studied mathematics at Cambridge University in the 1930s and after graduating he became a researcher at the university, where he began developing his ideas for what was later called the “Turing Machine”. During World War II Turing joined the army as part of a team responsible for breaking the codes used by the German armies for their communications. Using his knowledge of mathematics and computing principles, Turing constructed a machine which could interpret these mysterious messages, giving the British access to thousands of the German war plans and secrets. Many think it helped shorten the war by several years, saving millions of lives. After the war, Turing returned to developing the design of the “Turing Machine”, the first modern computer. During the 1940s and 1950s most computers were designed for a single purpose. Turing’s revolutionary idea was to build a machine that could do anything, a multi-purpose computer, something that we consider common today. Turing completed his design but his colleagues thought it was too difficult to construct, so the Turing Machine was never built in his lifetime. The method of instructing the computer was the key to Turing’s idea. He described a machine which knew three simple instructions: sequence（序列顺序）, selection and repetition. Making the computer perform any task was simply a matter of breaking the task down into steps using a combination of these instructions. This principle remains the basis of almost all computer programming up to this day. Turing also developed what is now known as the “Turing Test” of computer intelligence. The tes
