Since the dawn of sending and receiving messages, people have had a need for keeping the information they send out to remain private and out of the hands of others. This need for security is the reason the field of cryptography was developed, from its early stages of moving letters around in words to the present use of computer programming to keep certain data safe. Cryptography is the reason we can securely use many day to day applications, but with all these developments come issues of…

Alan Turing, the man widely considered the father of artificial intelligence, proved to be a child prodigy as early as age 6, saved thousands of lives in the second great war, set the stage for what we perceive as the modern day personal computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill…
