I can think of a few different eras that will likely have different insights:
* Foundations, before any computer was feasible to build: Newton, Boole, Babbage
* Early computing, when everything was custom-built: Alan Turing, Vannevar Bush, Claude Shannon
* Mainframes, where computer access is rare and precious
* Personal computers and early networking
* Mobile computing and ubiquitous internet
