Well, computing has lots to thank to UK, Germany, Finland, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Sorry if I forgot anything, fellow Europeans.

You didn't get that I was hinting that countries that don't have strict rules about who can call themselves engineers invented the core tech behind computers ditto Ethernet which was US and UK.

Some of the countries I listed do have strict rules and also invented core tech behind computers.

Core tech behind computers is more than just a network protocol that got lucky.
