Boeing v Airbus

My uncle, who was a pilot in the Air Force back in the day and now flies a ton for work, told me that Airbus planes are all computerized (in terms of controlling flaps, rudders and such) whereas Boeing planes still use wired controls. My terminology is off here I am sure, so I hope I am making sense. Any truth to that?
Thanks!
