Turing Introduction Alan Mathison Turing(1912-1954) is one of the most intelligent scientists in the world‚ who is not only famous as a war savor but also a computer scientist. During the Second World War‚ Turing successfully cracked the German Enigma ciphers and turned the scale of the war‚ saving thousands of livings. Thanks to the celebration of Turing’s centenary in 2012‚ nowadays‚ the name of Alan Turing is universally known as the pioneer of computer science and the pioneer of artificial

The Ultra Secret (Enigma) During World War II‚ it was essential to try and obtain secret high-value information from the Nazis. Such information was normally written in ciphers – secret methods of writing in code so that enemies cannot decrypt the information. The cipher used by Germany during World War II was a very complex polyalphabetic cipher‚ which was a code that alternated between multiple alphabets to write messages‚ making the message appear to be random letter combinations. The alphabets

mathematician‚ logician‚ and cryptographer considered by many to be the father of computer science. His contributions to breaking the German Nazi Enigma code during WWII were considered pivotal to the Allied war effort. Alan Turing formulated multiple ideas that now lie at the foundations of computer science and computability theory‚ such as the idea of a Turing machine or the Church-Turing thesis. Contributions Computer designer In 1945‚ Turing was recruited to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in

Machine Guarding—An Overview Overview Of Topic Machine operators who understand a machine’s hazards and how to control them will have a reduced risk of injury. Proper operation of the machine‚ including the machine guards‚ can improve productivity as well as safety. There are five general techniques for safeguarding machine operation‚ but all guards must be able to prevent contact‚ must be secured in place or be otherwise tamper-proof‚ must create no new hazards‚ should allow for lubrication

The Machine and Modernism “The Machine Stops” by E.M. Foster explores the collapse of modernistic ideas and the detrimental effects of human progression as a result of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. One of the characters‚ Kuno‚ realizes that flaws exist within the Machine they live in because it has failed him. Whereas‚ his mother‚ Vashti‚ worships the machine and all it has done for her‚ as it allows for her to live a comfortable life with all she feels that she needs. Modernism

Extra Credit Paper April 23‚ 2013 Moral Machines – Ethics The future of computing and machinery is changing at such an extremely fast pace that we need to invest in the application of ethics to the world of machines. But there are many problems with programming a machine to act ethically. Ethics are simply emotional expressions and machines can’t have emotion. Computers don’t have the practical wisdom that Aristotle thought we use when applying our virtues. What about the ethics of the lesser

Creating a Brand Enigma – Starbucks’s Unique Business Strategy In early 1991‚ just three years after Howard Schultz had acquired‚ Starbucks‚ a fledgling coffee company based in Seattle‚ the company’s most valuable coffee house was unglamorous and sloppy.
