Depends on how far you dumb down the idea really.
No one would be telling Steve Wozniak that someone else had his idea for a very innovative way of developing a computer in the late 70s, but if you say your idea is "a computer" then yah, someone else had that idea.

Still, necessarily
there was a first person (or a tie with
several people) for the idea of a computer.
So, maybe the claim in the title was
true for Wozniak but definitely
it is false for someone and, thus,
a false statement.
