Programmable *electronic* computers? Maybe.
Perhaps you're forgetting a certain Charles Babbage, who designed a
Turing-complete mechanical computer _several hundred_ years earlier. (I
will admit, however, that it was never actually *built*.)
As I originally asserted: The modern computer really cannot be
attributed to any one single individual. It was a team effort, over a
period of several centuries...
