John von Neumann contributed little directly to the computer. He wrote a paper on what mistakenly came to be called the Von Neumann architecture, but this was not his idea, he simply documented an idea first proposed by person(s) unknown on Project PX(which built ENIAC).
Probably his biggest contribution to computers was when he returned to the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton after the war he designed his own computer called the IAS Computer then distributed copies of its schematics and other documents for free to any person, university, company, etc. that inquired. This results in almost 2 dozen similar but generally incompatible computers being built around the world. Even IBM's family of 700/7000 scientific computers are loose derivatives of Von Neumann's IAS Computer.
