The war is over. Now Turing is moving on to the first Universal Turing Machine and it’s called “baby.”

The Enigma machine was available before WWII. It was used commercially for banks and other financial agencies. I kind of it figured out how the machine worked and what you had to do to decode it. There are actually cell phone apps to simulate the Enigma machine.

Alan Turing had two theories. One was that a computer machine could do multiple jobs and programs could be stored in the computer’s memory. He theoretically proved this in 1936 in a paper he wrote and presented.
