I was recently asked to participate in a British Computer Society evening dedicated to the legacy of
Alan Turing. It was a fascinating event, with speakers describing different aspects of Turing's legacy
to our society today - his papers; how he inspires gay people today. I spoke about Turing's
contribution to Computer Science (and also took the opportunity to mention my forthcoming book
Digitized briefly). It was a nice opportunity to explain the importance of Turing's ideas; if
you want to watch what we all said, a video is available online at the BCS website here.
