Geore Boole
George Boole is the inventor of the boolean logic. He laid down the foundation of modern logic. The essential logic that he invented are the "Or", "And", "Not". This logic is also what determines what is true and what is false during a given input. This kind of logic is used in basically every programmed hardware. Today we have more options than the ones that George invented. Logic in programing is much more complicated now and includes "Not And", "Equals", "Binary" -

Robert Kahn
Robert Khan is the inventor of the internet. The internet made it much easier to store and send things related to programing. The internet made other things much easier but it was a huge upgrade for programing. An example is an easier way to transport programing files. Transporting the files through internet is much more convenient than the old fashion way, like using a fax. At first the "Internet" was called the "World Wide Web"
