>Factory (19th century)
Specifically, a factory with a steam engine, hence the language of internal "drives" and so on.
The 21c part of this analogy should be "the internet," following the principle of us basing our mind-model on the newest technology around at the time.
I always thought it odd to say that our mind is like a computer, when we created computers in the image of our minds.
