The Death of Alan Turing
Rare documentary excerpt traces the decline and subsequent death of the mathematical genius and one of the founders of the modern computer. Turing was also one of the leading codebreakers at Bletchley Park during World War Two, and played a leading role in the breaking of the German Enigma codes.

Lecture 12.3: The Amazing Alan Turing - Richard Buckland (extension lecture) UNSW 2008
We had a gap at the end of Lecture 12 so Richard gives an unplanned and impromptu talk about some of the contributions of the amazing thinker Alan Turing. So much to say, so little time, such fast talking. We chat about 3 different major contributions he made to the world - his decryption work during WWII and the Engima Machine; his abstract model of a computer (the Turing Machine) and what things can be effectively "computed"; and finally, briefly only, his thoughts about what it is to be human and the difference between humans and computers - the Turing Test. Alan Turing is a key figure in the development of computing, indeed if I had to pick just one thinker who was the most amazing he'd get my vote. Richard promises to talk about the Turing Test in more depth in the next extension lecture. Also comes up: Epimenides paradox, non computable functions, the halting problem, U-559, Colin Grazier GC, Anthony Fasson, GC,Tommy Brown, Blade Runner, CAPTCHAs. Errata: My memory was about as reliable as usual - I said Tommy stayed outside in a boat but i've since read that all three swam across and went into the U-559. Humbling bravery. I've also since realised that Colin Grazier was from Tamworth in the UK, not the Tamworth in Australia as I had always thought (why are so many English places named after Australian towns?) Finally, something which actually I did know but still managed to get wrong - the important material salvaged was not a cypher machine but quantities of data ...
Breaking the Code: Biography of Alan Turing (Derek Jacobi, BBC, 1996)
A biography of the English mathematician Alan Turing, who was one of the inventors of the digital computer and one of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II. Turing was also a homosexual in Britain at a time when this was illegal, besides being a security risk. Adapted for Television Hugh Whitemore wrote a shortened version of the play for television. This was filmed in late 1995, as a production of THE DRAMA HOUSE and WGBH BOSTON for BBC NORTH.The first transmission, to my knowledge, was on 17 September 1996 in Canada, by Showcase Television. It was shown in the United States as a Masterpiece Theater production on 2 February 1997. The first British transmission was on BBC1, 5 February 1997. Filmed for television in a naturalistic suburban setting, rather than on a timeless, expressionist stage set, Breaking the Code inevitably sacrificed many of the elements that made it grip theatre audiences. No stagecraft magic of Derek Jacobi's real-time changes of age: instead the teenage Turing was played by a young actor. The adapted script also lost some of the more special moments of the play. For instance, on the stage, Turing reveals the logical secret of the Bombe on his last holiday on Corfu, but with the irony that it is revealed to someone who does not understand a word. On the television screen, his explanation is given to an Intelligence officer 'John Smith', all irony lost. Hugh ...
BBC documentary history of computers part 1.
How I Made $729k Buying & Selling Websites tinyurl.com The BBC broadcasted in 1991 the serie 'The dream machine'. This scene is about the tragic story of Alan Turing, the "father" of the modern computer. During the Second World War he devised a number of techniques for breaking German telegraph codes. After the war Alan Turing worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer, the ACE. This series of the BBC was broadcasted in 1991.

Alan Turing's trouble with convention
My favorite fragment from the documentary Breaking the Code, about the life and work of Alan Turing, the inventor of the digital computer and the one who broke the Nazi 'Enigma' code. The film is mostly about Turing breaking another code - the social conventions of his time. I love Turing's attitude about how one should simply ignore the simple minded idiots that get offended by any departure from "normality", no matter how harmless that departure is. There are more important and interesting things to do than to worry about such idiots. Unfortunately however, in his case intolerance had the last word.
Alan Turing, Father of Computer Science - Eduardo Galeano
Complete video at: fora.tv Eduardo Galeano recounts the life and death of Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer. After pleading guilty to the "crime and sickness" of homosexuality, Touring was forced to undergo medical "cures" which prompted his tragic suicide. ----- In this history of human adventure, one of Latin America's most distinguished writers illuminates movements of ideas and society across centuries by recalling the lives of artists, writers, gods and visionaries-- from the Garden of Eden to 21st-century New York. - Los Angeles Public Library Eduardo Galeano is the author of the Memory of Fire Trilogy, Open Veins of Latin America, Soccer in Sun and Shadow, and many other works. Born in Montevideo, in 1940, Galeano lived in exile in Argentina and Spain for many years before returning to Uruguay. His work has inspired popular and classical music composers from all over the world. He was the recipient of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom. He has just been awarded "The Outstanding Citizen of the South," a new prize awarded by the Common Market of the South.

Alan Turing - "God is Dead" - Tribute to the Great Enigma
Hello everybody, I felt I should make a tribute to if not one of the fathers of Computer Science, and the ever famous "Halting Problem" using the Turing Machine. He is known for being the founder of the concept of the computer alongside others such as John Von Neumann but, noted as the father of it. Through his work on decidability and demonstrating the work of Kurt Godel in the form of logical machines. Not only was his mathematical and foundational computer science progress was important, he stood up strongly for his beliefs that all people should be able to live their life without hypocrisy of things such as anti-homosexuality, religions and lies. He showed and tried to show us that we are all finite and incomplete, we just need to embrace life for what it is. Also for his efforts in WW2 by decrypting the Enigma machine. Definitely one of my heroes. The british government recently apologized for their actions against Alan Turing due to his homosexuality: "So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better." Music: "Pieces" by RED (no copyright infringement intended, this is the tribute to the father of computer science and the computer) Video contributed by BBC (no copyright infringement intended, this is a tribute to a great man), and clips of my own research in visual form on the topics of Goldbach's Conjecture. Enjoy and thank you Alan Turing for all you have ...

Alan Turing and Abortion
A sadly true story about a young genius in Britain who's life was ended with humiliation and suffering because his mind was wired slightly differently than our own. The lessons turing taught us about computer science and mathematical engineering made him renowned as the father of modern computing. His first model of a computer has become the basis for every computer since. When he was convicted, his attention had began to turn to chemistry. Imagine what great chemical inventions he made have provided us with.
