Douglas Engelbart (01.30.1925)
In 1967, Engelbart applied for a patent (obtained in 1970) for a device consisting of a wooden housing with two metal wheels (patent 3541541), which he had developed together with Bill Inglish several years earlier. In the patent, the device is described as "XY position indicator for the display system". Later, Engelbart found out that this device was nicknamed the "mouse" because the cord coming out of its back was similar to a mouse's tail.

Edsger studied theoretical physics at Leiden University, and later realized that he was more interested in computer science.
Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path in a graph is also widely known.
John McCarthy (12.12.1927-24.10.2011)
McCarthy first used mathematical logic in artificial intelligence. In 1958, he offered advice taker, which inspired later work on answer-questions and logical programming. Lambda-based, Lisp quickly became the number one programming language in artificial intelligence after its publication in 1960. He inspired the creation of the MAC project at MIT, but left MIT for Stanford University in 1962, where he helped establish the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, which throughout for many years remained a friendly rival of the MAC project.
