Or, In 1939, John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) at Iowa State University, which was regarded as the first electronic digital computer. The ABC was built by hand and the design used over 300 Vacuum Tubes and had capacitors fixed in a mechanically rotating drum for memory.
He could also be called the father of computer science, considering this was a true digital computer. The vaccum tube was also "the father of the modern resistor"
Indeed. I postulate that many people had something to do with what we call computer science.
Much to Gore's chagrin, I do not believe one person created the internet, or computer science.
