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.
