In this decade, two major contributions were observed. In 1950, Alan Turing submitted a paper
about the possibility of creating machine that could think. This became a test of machines to
check the thinking capability of a machine. One of the greatest achievements of Alan Turing is
the creation of Bombe, a machine that could decode, encoded messages.
