There was a universe before digital computers were popular or a thing at all. Computing predates computers.

  Before digital computers existed, there were still computers. They were people. A baker is a person who bakes. A computer was a person who computes (computing mathematical results).

    Sure, that's why I had computers italicized to indicate the specific modern definition, not everything that computes.
