Turing was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He was mostly known for his work he did on computers such as hacking the Nazi's computer system and creating computers for WWII. After the War he designed ACE. Anything he designed or created was brilliant.
Living in the United Kingdom and Being gay was illegal. He kept that secret from the government for a while until he couldn't anymore when a burglary took place in his home. The police seemed to be more worried about him being gay and charging him with gross indecency instead of a real crime. I see no wrong in someone being gay, they're not harming anybody. Turing being found convicted, he lost his job and became super depressed. He couldnt stand the depression anymore! He was found dead with an apple by his bedside injected with cyanide poisoning; ruled a suicide!
Losing everything caused this to happen! I think it was totally wrong for the government to do this and where they find no fault at all! To this day people still know who he is by what he created in technology and how is work developed over time!
