"Computers" are unfortunately named after the least important thing that they do (accounting.) What's important about them is that they are allow us to generalize and add infinite complexity to autonomous control systems, like valves that open when a certain pressure is reached, or switches that toggle at a certain light level. The ultimate computer network would keep the king that implemented it in power for eternity, even after his death, by keeping his will alive. If you automated his corpse, you wouldn't even need to know that the king could die.

edit: "Ordenador" (from Spain) is probably better, i.e the thing/person that gives orders, or puts things in order. Maybe "mandónador"...
