About this video
In 1937, Alan Turing introduced the concept of the Turing Machine, a revolutionary theoretical device that defined the fundamentals of computation. This “machine” wasn’t a physical device but a mathematical model that could read, write, and modify symbols on an infinite tape based on a set of rules.
Why does it matter? Because the Turing Machine proved that a simple, logical system could perform any computation imaginable, laying the foundation for all modern computers. Turing’s concept of a “universal machine” is the reason your phone, laptop, and every computer today exists.
