Kill Hitler == no WW2 == no nuclear energy, no computers == no time travel == Hitler was never killed. Time paradox.

  * Time travel -> kill Hitler -> no WW2 -> no need to kill Hitler in the future --> Hitler not killed -> WW2 -> Time travel -> * Or Time travel -> kill Hitler -> History changed -> previous time traveler doesn't exist in the future so he won't go -> ???

  Those technologies would still have been developed. It would just have taken longer.

      Babbage might have, but only if he had several times the funding and lifespan he did.

        Might have but didn't, which is my point. WW2 increased the demand for automated computing, which got computer development the funding it didn't have 100 years earlier.
