John Vincent Atanasoff

ENIAC is commonly accepted as the first successful high - speed electronic digital computer (EDC) and was used from 1946 to 1955. A controversy developed in 1971, however, over the patentability of ENIAC's basic digital concepts, the claim being made that another physicist, John V. Atanasoff (left) had already used basically the same ideas in a simpler vacuum - tube device he had built in the 1930's while at Iowa State College. In 1973 the courts found in favor of the company using the Atanasoff claim

Charles Babbage - The father of computers

I believe it was British scientists at Bletchley Park in England who developed Colossus which was the first programmable electronic computer. The computer was used in cryptography to break the German Enigma codes during World War 2. It is commonly (and erroneously) believed that ENIAC was first, but due to many years of secrecy by the British, it only later became evident that ENIAC was later than the Colossus computers (There were a number of them built).

Al Gore.

No wait, that was the Internet.





Actually, I like Al Gore and what he really said was that he was instrumental in the development of the Internet which was in fact true because, as a Senator, he heavily promoted funding for the Military DARPANET which is generally considered a precursor to the internet.
