Often, discoveries and innovations are the work of multiple people, resulting from continual improvements over time. However, certain individuals are remembered for making significant contributions to the birth or development of a field or technology.[1] These individuals may often be described as the "father" or "mother" of a particular field or invention.

John von Neumann is also considered to be the inventor of flowchart.

Donald Davies[72]

Recognized by historians and the U.S. National Inventors Hall of Fame for independently inventing the concept of digital packet switching used in modern computer networking including the Internet.[73] Baran published a series of briefings and papers about dividing information into "message blocks" and sending it over distributed networks between 1960 and 1964.[74][75] Davies conceived of and named the concept of packet switching in data communication networks in 1965.[76][77] Many of the wide-area packet-switched networks built in the 1970s were similar "in nearly all respects" to Davies' original 1965 design.[78]

Larry Roberts learned about Davies' and Baran's work at the inaugural Symposium on Operating Systems Principles in October 1967. He and Leonard Kleinrock subsequently worked on the ARPANET, but their claims to have originated the concept of packet switching are disputed by other Internet pioneers,[79][80][81] including by Robert Taylor,[82] Paul Baran,[83] and Donald Davies.[84][85]

Crawford, chief architect of the original 386,[88] and Donald Alpert, who managed the architectural team. Dror Avnon managed the design of the FPU.[89] Dham was general manager of the P5 group.[90] Some media sources have called him the "father of the Pentium".
