The young Alan Turing
1922 - Studied at the Preparatory School of Hazelhurst.1926 - He attended high school at Sherborne School in Dorset.
1931 - He began to study mathematics at Kings College, Cambridge.
1935 - He was elected an associate member of Kings College.
The brilliant mathematician
1936 - Publishes his most important theoretical work: On computable numbers. From this work, fundamental to modern computer science.1938 - concluded his doctoral thesis: Systems of logic based on ordinals.
1939 - Installs in Bletchley Park on the first day of the second war. Begins to decipher the codes of the Naval Enigma machine. Invents Banburismus and designed the Bombe.
Wining the War

Birth of Artificial Intelligence
1947 - Founding of the field that is now known as Artificial Intelligence.1948 - Describes a neural computing machine simp, anticipating the neural networks.
1949 - Develops a pioneering work in the field of verification programs.
1950 - Published computing machinery and intelligence, the cradle of the Turing test.
Last years...
1950 – Declara-se homosexual.1951 - Elected member of the Royal Society of London.
1951 - It is treated with female hormones - chemical castration.
1952 - Publishes the chemical basis of morphogenesis, the field now known as Artificial Life.
1952 - is convicted of indecent assault, away from your research and suffers humiliation and Public Administration.
1954 - Death by cyanide poisoning.
The belated recognition
On September 11, 2009, 55 years after his death, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Gordon Brown apologized on behalf of formal British government by biased and inhumane treatment given to Alan Turing.

In the entrance hall of the Exhibition, the public can contact the show's first multimedia interaction. This interaction consists of an acrylic table with a book containing blank pages. In the table printed acrylic markers exist and the visitor must click on the marker chosen. A system with a camera and a multimedia projector connected to a computer should understand the choice of food and Vitantis blank pages of the book by means of projection. This augmented reality experience will make the visitor in contact with the physical presence of virtual images and information.Downloads:
