The Shallows – Free Write (10 mins)

In Chapter 5 of the Shallows by Nicholas Carr, Carr gives history on the Turing Machine and the story of Computer Scientist Alan Turing. Turing was a British Mathematician who was responsible for the decryption of the Enigma machine, a device used during World War II to send encrypted messages. Carr discuses the Turing Machine and about how the current progression of technology has surpassed what would have been concerned advanced and potentially impossible during Turing’s time. Carr progressions onward and discusses about the different roles that have been taken over by technology (media, news, etc..)
