I know of Alan Turing after reading the book by Hodges and a theoretical computation course at college. Definitely a brilliant man but I agree with what is said in this article. Many, many people contributed to the computing world we have today whether it is theoretical or practical and we will never know what might have happened with Turing alive. Why not talk about von Neumann as the father of the modern computer? Simply because even though one man might have had a big influence on a specific field, many more after him would have had a big impact and nobody can predict the different outcomes.
