Section 2.12; November 24

Today's stuff didn't have very much hard stuff. This was partially because it was more of a story in the section, and also because I have studied the enigma. It is a really interesting machine though, and amazing how effective it was.

What I love the most was how Enigma spured the creation of computers. Without it, who knows how much slower the need for computers might have been. It is also interesting to see how people realized they new how to solve something but needed to be able to test solutions faster than humans could by hand.
