Technological Art and Design


I knew about the enigma machine created by Alan Turing who was a computer scientist, a mathematician, and a philosopher. Although I have not watched the famous film called ‘The Imitation Game’ inspired by Turing, the popularity of the film triggered me to search about his influence and the tragic life story behind the achievements that he has made for the world and for his country. Although the Enigma machines’ cryptanalysis became a successful contributor to hiding concealed messages from the enemy during World War II, it also became a pivotal moment in history that affected the advancement of technology and artificial intelligence in the future. Although used as a type of weapon in history, this contains futuristic advancements even now that could possibly enforce computers to imitate the complexity of the human mind.
