  5. Alan Turing • was born in 1912 • studied mathematics at Cambridge University • in 1939 began to work for the British Government • by 1942 built the Bombe to read Enigma code • by 1944 built Colossus to read Fish code The Bombe Colossus

The history of PC 1957 - IBM made the 610 Auto-Point • 1971 - Intel made a computer chip 4004, etc. • 1976 - Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak • started the Apple • 1981 - 1st home computer • 1981- 1st big • success of Microsoft • 1998 - Apple created iMac • 2000- appearance of Intel Pentium, etc. • now -modern PCs, notebooks, net books, • laptops, iPads, iPods, etc.

  9. Humans against computers They can: • do millions of calculations every second; • play chess and look at 200,000,000 different chess moves; • even create pieces of music, etc.!!! Are they reallymore powerful and more intelligent than humans? Do they really think in the same way that humans think? Can they go wrong and start to do frightening and dangerous things? Note: No one computer has passed the Turing Test yet… created by man.
