Inventions whose primary historical significance is a general-purpose computing device or its core processing hardware, distinct from a single electrical component or a piece of software. Belongs here: the computer and the microprocessor as computing hardware milestones, and the smartphone as a general-purpose handheld computing device. Does not belong here: single electronic components such as the transistor or integrated circuit, grouped under Electrical Engineering, or software development itself, grouped under Software Engineering.
