Charlie Brooker Quotes
I'm quite techy and gadgety.
Brooker, Charlie. Interview. The Guardian, Guardian News & Media, 21 Oct. 2016.
He was one of the fathers of modern computer science and the first serious programmer. Before there were computers generally available, he had programmed special IBM machines to crack the German’s “uncrackable” Enigma code.
He was one of the team that created the first Atomic Bomb. In 1946, the atomic bomb was known about by almost all Americans and almost no one had even heard of a computer or the concept of a computer. The British and Americans during the war had collaborated to build very limited electronic calculating machines but the concept of programs to control the calculating machines was new—initially created by van Neumann and Englishman Alan Turing. When he made this statement most people thought it was the ravings of a “mad scientist. He was one of the team that later developed the first real computer at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.”
