Boolean algebra was invented/created/discovered in the mid-1800s. Its application to computers or mechanical systems really only got started with Shannon's work at Bell Labs in the 1940s and '50s.
Yes, I know, you old nit-picking devil, you. I read Fortune's Formula too. (And Shannon was a friend of a friend at MIT.)

So what's your point? Statement too literal? Not literal enough?
Try to say something material or germane this time.
