Inventions That Changed The World (2004 - Jeremy Clarkson) Alan Turing & Tommy Flowers

This is a clip from Jeremy Clarkson's 2004 Documentary Series "Inventions That Changed The World". This details the contributions made by Alan Turing and Tommy Flowers towards the invention of the modern computer. It mentions Turing's suicide, although it skipped over the fact that when convicted of homosexuality, he was forced to undergo chemical castration by the British Government, and the role that played in his decision to take his own life. He was also responsible for the famous "Turing Test" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test) that is used to this day as a test of the limits of artificial intelligence.
