alan turing

In class a couple of days ago we learned about a man named Alan Turing. After doing a bit of research I have learned that he was a pretty incredible guy. I learned that he went to Princeton and worked for a secret british department. He had many brilliant plans but his peers and co-workers would always shut them down or dismiss them. In 1952 he was arrested and tried for being gay. He was operated on and tested on to cure him from his sexuality and as a result of this he commited suicide and his works have been recognized today. He was a brilliant man who has tortured during his day and age for being who he was which cut into the life of a brilliant man.
