Who is considered the father of the Binary Code and the Stored Program Computer?

Who is considered the father of the Binary Code and the Stored Program Computer, which are the keys to modern computer programming? I think he was a hungarian.

I believe you are probably talking about the Hungarian mathematician John von Neuman.
Reply:Al Gore. Just ask him.
Reply:I think the name is Babbage, Charles (he invented the "first" mechanical computer, though at this time, there is some evidence that the greeks created one for navigating nearly 2000 years before...)
Reply:Absolt123 is right, it's Von Neuman; the store program computer idea entailed storing the program in the computer together with the data it has to process, which was different than they used to program a computer -by flipping switches- and definitely different from how Babbage COULD have done it.





And to put anyone straight who thinks Al Gore was exaggerating: what he SAID was that he *helped* invent the Internet, NOT that he invented it himself. That's a twist those lame-a s s republicans gave to it; a trick they pull time and time again, and it works. That's how we got an all-C student as president of the USA; one that unfortunately only very recently discovered the problem of global warming.





Since Al Gore was one of the very first politicians to see the potential of the Internet, and he worked hard to get further funding for its development, Mr Gore's entitled to say that he helped in the invention of the Internet.
