Dr. Strangelove.... Neri,
I think the first computer wiz kid is likely to end up getting
expelled and obliviated for Misuse of Muggle Artifacts within three
weeks.
See, cars exist for even longer than computers (well, as we know
them, to not go all 19th Century on you) and Arthur still could get
in major trouble over his Ford Anglia. I suspect the last Muggle
Artifact that was officially allowed to be charmed, was invented
exactly pre-Industrial Revolution.
The WW is Britain without the Industrial Revolution. I am not
going into detail, but I think that is very important to the Wizarding
Society. They don't need airplanes or cars or anything silly like
that, because they have magic for these things. That's partially
an (imagined) superiority and partially lived independence from
the muggles. They don't need the muggles and their technology,
because they don't want to need them.
And that's why there aren't going to be enchanted computer or
even charms based on "muggle" mathematics, principles or
programs any time soon.
