The original computers were humans. Yes, they were really slow, but they were employed as computers. There's a reason m-w.com says the word dates from 1646.
A Kindle is a computer. Watches (even mechanical ones), phones, MP3 players, pacemakers, aircraft, AVOD, etc., all either are or contain computers.
