Alan Turing laid the foundation for modern computing from "summary" of The Innovators by Walter Isaacson
Alan Turing's groundbreaking work in the early 1940s played a crucial role in the development of modern computing. His theoretical exploration of the limits of computation not only laid the foundation for digital computers as we know them today but also expanded our understanding of what is computable.
Turing's concept of a universal machine, later known as the Turing machine, represented a significant shift in the way we think about computers. By proposing a theoretical device that could simulate any possible computation, Turing showed that all digital computers, regardless of their specific design, are essentially equivalent in terms of their computational abilities. This insight paved the way for the development of general-purpose computers that could perform a wide range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex algori...
