It obviously took years before the ENIAC Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, constructed in the US in 1943
Eniac did not use turing machines and modern algorithmic representations. It is a computer - but not of the modern sort. It was still using Godel's formal language and modular functioning.
Charles Babbage 1837 Analytical Engine also used "stored" programs, so he was actually the "father of computer science"Storage on cards and storage in memory is not the same thing. It does change the size and type of the compuations you are able to instruct it to perform.

Neither did anything this fag did. ANd We are talking "computer science" here, that is the claim.
A "computer" is a platform for information processing. not the language it's processing.

“computer sciences” includes hardware, architecture, and software. He was the father of NONE of those.
