The computer age dawns : the secret pioneers
Some of the boldest early steps into the computer age were taken in Britain. Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, did his main work at Cambridge University before joining the team of code-breakers at Bletchley Park near Milton Keynes. Soon afterwards the code breakers enlisted another unlikely recruit... a Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers, who was to play a crucial role in the development of modern computing.
