What’s the second one?
Alan Turing
Head of the code breakers at Bletchley Park. Cracked the enigma code. He was gay
invented the computer and provided significant contributions to ending WWII in the allied nations favour
He did not invent the modern computer but contributed significantly to the modern theory of computation. There is no single person who invented the computer, it was a collective effort over decades, if not centuries, ref. Leibniz, Lovelace, Bool, von Neumann, Weizenbaum, and many more.
He did invent the modern computer.
He invented the Turing machine, the modern computer was developed through the combined effort of lots of brilliant minds.
