Weird. I had this exact same thought last night when I was going to bed. That seems to happen to me a lot; think something before bed, and then see it within the week. I should play lotto. In all seriousness, though, "computer" describes a device that, well, does a computation. And while they definitely still do this, more now than ever, that's not what we use them for. We use them, truly, as communicators. Same with the word "phone". Really, the words have become obsolete because the actual product is obsolete, too. We think of computers in terms of what we use them for, not what they do inside them.
