I always knew Turing was smart but man this video shows me how ahead of his time he was. As a computer science major, I am thoroughly impressed that his paper panned out into modern day computer functions.

[hellothere]

Amazing work as usual! The way Turing was able to breakdown computing into it's most fundamental parts like this is fascinating. It's also mind-blowing how this simply stated framework allows all of the advanced technology we see today...

[jordangerm]

That video really opened my eyes.. That was the first time I finally understood, at last a little bit, how computers are programmed. Very well explained

[pscheidt]

You are stunningly good. Thank-you for this series.

Gosh, this takes me back! To the Institute of Cybernetics at Brunel University, 1970-72, where the Research Professor looking after us doctoral students was Gordon Pask (look him up!) A delightful eccentric. And his way of teaching us the Turing Machine was to chalk out a single line of floor-tiles in the lecture theatre– the tape– and ask us to imagine that he was the read-write head. There he was, hopping on one leg (read), other leg (write), asking us to call out the algorithm for 2+2=4 for him to compute. (That had taken us a while to prepare since it was expressed in binary digits). 'hop left-read- hop right- hop right -write' etc etc, with this small (barely 5 foot tall) but immensely distinguished gentleman hopping along merrily. Such fun!

Excellent video...but a suggestion would be to drop the unusual and annoying also to loud. But overall, great job ! Thanks for doing this.

Dude the music is ruining this. It's way too loud relative to the speech volume.

Your channel must be in the top 0.0001% best channels on youTube.

turing was years ahead of his time, the world is still playing catchup

I've been looking all over the internet for a layperson explanation of the functionality of a Turing Machine. This video nails it. Thank you, so very much.

[markmcla]

I really like your explanation. I like how you explain a "2D book" interpretation of a Turing Machine before you jump into a "1D Tape". I think I finally understand a Turing Machine! Thanks!

[modolief]

This is the best explanation I've yet seen of how the conceptual Turing Machine was originally invented — how did Alan Turing get the idea for the thing and then how did he formulate it.

[chris_]

Amazing video, this is surely one of the best channels on YouTube! Can't wait for the next part!

[ErikBongers]

Amazing. With such a machine we will eventually be able to take pictures of our dinner and put it in some virtual cloud space.

[stephenhicks]

Really interesting video. Turing's paper was publishing in 1936, not 1928 but in response to the three questions posed by Hilbert in 1928.

[reenietanya]

The first time I understood whata Turing Machine is! Thank you!

[vedant]

Little correction at 2:35 it is 1936 not 1928

[dipu]

Eagerly waiting for the second part of this video

I have done a lot of 'basic' type programming for engineering application from punch card on IBM 370 fortran ADA on VAX up to VBA ... and only heard of A.Turing in the recent years on helping crack the enigma machine.... but this short video does explain where all this came from thanks !
