Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John von Neumann developed the concept of stored program computers, which are the basis for virtually all contemporary computer designs. He worked at the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton and made significant contributions to several fields, including mathematics, physics, and economics. Although the other options (John Maulchy, Herman Hollerith, and John Eckert) were also important figures in the history of computing, they did not have as significant an impact on contemporary computer designs as von Neumann.
