The Turing Machine was part of a mathematical proof in Turing's paper "On Computable Numbers". The proof showed that there are non-computable numbers, and problems that no computer (no matter how it is built or programmed) can solve. However the proof did not give an example of either (such proofs of existence usually don't produce examples).
The Turing Machine was never intended to be built, and it is a very inefficient and impractical computer.

When did Alan turing invented enigma machine?
Alan Turing didn't invent Enigma you complete inbacile. He cracked the code that the Germans were sending with the Enigma machine once. And it wasn't just his it was a whole team of people.
What was the name of Alan turing's machine?
The machine developed by Alan Turing was called the Turing Machine. It was a theoretical computing device that laid the groundwork for modern computers and the concept of algorithmic computation.
Is Alan Turing invented first modern computer?
Alan Turing invented the idea of the modern computer in 1936. This device became known as a 'Turing Machine.' It was a hypothetical device that could help scientists comprehend the limitations of a computer's ability to perform calculations.

The first 'proper' videogame was a computer version of Chess, made by Alan Turing in 1947.
Which was the first electronic digital computer and who invented it?
ABC
Why did Alan Turing invented the computer?
Alan Turing did not invent the computer. He worked during WW2 at breaking military codes. He also considered the concept, called a "Turing machine", which was a machine that could make itself. In his example, this was a tape machine (punched paper tape in those days) which could make itself. Most importantly, he posed the Turing Test, which was a test to decide whether a machine could develop intelligence. This test has so far resisted a 'yes' answer, but the performance of applicants continues to get better. There is a good reference to him in wikipedia.org.
