quite possibly.
maybe.
Alan Turing is considered to be the father of computers because he invented the Turing machine. The Turing machine is thought to be the first model of a computer.
The Turing machine is the theoretical underpinning of all modern computing devices. The Turing machine is not a physically constructed device, but a way of conceptualizing computer algorithms. See link.
A Turing machine is a machine that can perform any possible computation, and emulate any real world computer, except other Turing machines. A Universal Turing machine however, is a theoretical machine that could even emulate Turing Machines. In actuallity they're both the same, since if you fed the tape from a Turing machine into another Turing machine, the second would in essence be emulating the first. Its also useful to note that Turing machines aren't really "machines" per se, but actually models of the process of computation itself.
The Turing Machine was part of a mathematical proof in Turing's paper "On Computable Numbers". The proof showed that there are non-computable numbers, and problems that no computer (no matter how it is built or programmed) can solve. However the proof did not give an example of either (such proofs of existence usually don't produce examples).The Turing Machine was never intended to be built, and it is a very inefficient and impractical computer.

Alan Turing invented the idea of the modern computer in 1936. This device became known as a 'Turing Machine.' It was a hypothetical device that could help scientists comprehend the limitations of a computer's ability to perform calculations.
Alan Turing is considered to be the father of the modern computer. He was a mathematician and is the creator of the Turing machine which was the precursor to modern computers.
the turing machine
In the year 1936, The Turing machine was developed featuring computability and was considered a universal machine. I do not agree. There is no such thing as "the Turing machine", at least not as a material machine. It is a purely theoretical machine, it features, among other things a tape of infinite length. Turing did help in building Colossus, a system used to break German ciphers, but I think this was in 1943. He also worked on the so-called bombs which were a further development of a Polish code-breaking approach (see related link). Who built the first computer is, however, subject of a lot of debate. Turing was certainly one of the first to describe the concept of computability mathematically using his theoretical machine.
