Everytime when I am on the subway train, it is hard to see people who are not using smartphone. The world without smartphone is not imaginable anymore. There is a history for world to be shaped in this way, which is not that long but also not that short. Through the movie ‘The Imitation Game’, people got to know about Alan Turing. Alan Turing is the mathematician who first thought of machine that can think by itself. Thinking of something new and that idea to be get accepted by the public is not easy. I became interested in Alan Turing’s life as he is one of the influential person who led the world with IT, Information Technology.
Alan Turing was different from the childhood. He did not have a proper family background as his father had to work oversea from his birth. He was often raised by others, so he became too introverted without sociality. When he was in English public school, Sherbourne, the headmaster of the school recognized Turing’s talent and said that he might be wasting his time in the school. His level of thinking was much different from his classmates, and he was not social person who could to interact with people actively.
In his alone life, Turing met a friend, Christopher Morcom, who get to become closest could work together and share his idea. Not only as a friend, this was the first time he started to get idea of his identity as homosexual. He loved Morcom so much as a beloved friend and was his first lover, but Morcom died after few years. He suffered from Morcom’s death, but he thought that Morcom would look upon him so he changed his attitude towards people and study hard. Morcom remained in Turing as symbol of perfection in his entire life. Their visible connection did last even later as he was awarded the ‘Morcom Prize for science’ which was donated by Christopher’s parents for his outstanding achievement.
Alan Turing’s most famous and main achievement was accomplished during the World War Ⅱ. Based on the knowledge he gained in his studies, he worked part time in homosexuality which was an illegal act. He died in mental hospital when he was just aged 41, known as Cyanide poisoning which is considered as suicide. Only his mother denied his suicide as he was always followed behind by a plainclothesman. Alan Turing’s mysterious death is not clearly identified until now, but he is considered father of computer science todays. His new approach to make the machine to replace human made it possible to end the World War Ⅱ.
