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.
