So what's special about "electronic" computers?
Isn't this just a mere technological refinement? Logic gates can be
electrical, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic and photonic--and probably
a few technologies that I haven't thought of.

fit in? It would seem to have memory and perform actions based on inputs.
