(4b) Alan Turing

Hello class,

There are many ways to protect yourself online. in this class, we learned how to use paid password protection programs. In class activity, we learned how that normal passwords can be easily guessed by automated software. we learned to use different characters numbers and letters in our passwords. Another way of protecting our online information and privacy is to use two factor authentication to log in different accounts. I personally use my phone number to receive text messages when I log in. These text messages will contain a confirmation number that I must enter before logging in.

Alan Turing was an English mathematician and later computer scientist. he was born in London. he was a very smart man. He died very young at the age of 41. Unfortunately, back at that time, he was prosecuted for homosexual acts. He developed the Turing test in which a machine is tested if it has the ability to exhibit human intelligent behavior. This test was performed in 1950. Alan wants an answer to his question “Can a machine think?”. That was very early to that technology.
