825 Words4 Pages

The Imitation Game movie allows us to go back into the World War II and let the world be known about how Alan Turing, the British mathematician who is considered to be the father of modern computers, help the British government to win the war against the German terrorists by being able to break into Enigma code, the supposed to be an unbreakable code. This movie is the epitome of a from neccessity to an invention scenario. Alan Turing was not into socially disabled it proves when he really wanted to work alone and he didn’t got the idea of jokes, sarcasm and such. Maybe it’s because of his high school days where he was different, different I mean that he is homosexual and meticulous that’s why they bullied him. Through those years Alan …show more content…

Alan Turing thought of a way to make things faster and easier for them because they did it manually, that was why he planned, designed and invented the machine, Christopher, named after his deceased friend who was his only friend, but he didn’t told anyone about where he got that name. His idea came from another machine but he specified and made it more advanced. I am amazed on how they built the machince without the help of new technology and how they stopped the war saving over fourteen million lives and it shortened estimatedly over two years of war. As he said, “Only a machine can defeat another machine” and he is very right about it. The process of making the machine is not that smooth because of all the problems that he encountered and risking not just your life but also the lives of other people who is depending on you was a heavy part on Mr. Turing. Enigma is a very enhanced machine and the people will take months or even years into breaking that code. As years passed by, it was then developed and today it is called as computers that is very helpful in the present’s generation. But the road in getting there was a very bumpy one, because Mr.

    However, Carr did not inform the readers his credentials and professional expertise throughout the essay. His profession is established at the end of the essay on a small footnote, which also provided his other essays and books. In the beginning of his essay, he establishes himself as a trustworthy source by discussing catastrophic events and providing small amounts of history. He also used quotes from historical figures such as the British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead to make readers assume that he researched for his topic, which he did (90). Carr also provided opposing viewpoints by giving the reader’s quotes from theorists who are pro-automation and facts that prove humans can be “unreliable and inefficient” when they are responsible for operating simple tasks (93).

Alan Turing has inspired people to decipher encrypted messages because of his attempt to decode the Enigma cipher machine used by the German military (Alan Turing By Jacob Aron). This evidence shows that Alan Turing was able to help the war effort for the British by cracking the Enigma Cipher machine that encrypts messages and frequencies. Alan Turing has inspired people to be fearless to daunting problems just like he did to find out a way to crack open the Enigma machine (What Alan Turing means to us).

    Defining intelligence is a very difficult proposition and one which Alan Turing attempted to avoid answering as regards machine intelligence in the Imitation Game which has become known as the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). He posed the question “Can machines think?” which is he developed to ask if machines are able to converse in a way that can persuade humans they too are human. A machine is declared to have passed the test if human judges are unable to tell the difference between a human and a computer through a typed conversation. He suggested that a machine that persuades 70 per cent of human judges after five minutes of conversation should be deemed to have passed the test.
