Alan
Turning
and
the
Ace
Computer - We take internet communications
pretty much for granted these days. In fact, it’s become so
commonplace that it’s now hard to imagine a modern society without
it. Well, despite his comments to the contrary, Al Gore did not
invent the internet. In
fact the technical underpinnings were first developed by Englishman
Alan Turing
and his associates Jim Wilkinson and Harry Huskey as far back as the
late
1940’s.
