Leonardo DaVinci is quoted as saying, "Computers are useless. They can
only give answers". This was obviously way before 1850.

after all the
one who coined the phrase "computer."
Really? I've certainly seen "computer" in use in written

the late 1940's that
"computer"
meant a machine and not a person, in common usage!

I've also heard that attributed to Pablo Picasso and Einstein.
I believe it was Picasso, though.
