I watched the programme last night and it was excellent. I've always held Alan Turing as one of my all time hero's of Computer Science. If you can manage to get hold of it I highly recommend watching it. On a side note I decided to read his paper this morning 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence'. If you have some spare time today give the paper a read. Especially the 'Digital Computers' paragraph. As you're reading it think to yourself he is describing something that does not exist, nobody has ever heard of, and yet he is perfectly describing the computer I am using to type this comment. Phenomenal. link to paper : http://loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html http://loebner.net/Prizef/TuringArticle.html
