Well, society would collapse without computers so I think the description is apt.
At best you could argue that they're the same phenomenon, but then you might equally well argue electrification is just the consequence of steam engines.

I mean a Nobel prize category for advances in computing makes a lot of sense and I can easily name a whole list of people who could qualify. We'll need to be quick if we don't want to award some of them posthumously though.
