But you don't know what I mean. Computers as most people know them now are tablets and cell phones. I blame X and the elder millennials for that.

Computers filled rooms back when the boomers (and earlier gens) were creating them, so even a desktop isn't how they were known then. But it laid the groundwork.

Was Franklin laying the groundwork for computers as we know them when he discovered electricity? You have to cut things off somewhere for a statement like that.

It could be said so, but it's a much, much more distant connection than working on things that are literally called "computers."

So then the Greek Antikythera mechanism counts too then? Or maybe the Bell transistor. My point is that none of these things resemble computers as we know them.
