Well the term 'discovery' generally means finding something that
already existed. You 'discover' the existence of gravity, etc.
We didn't 'discover' computers, nobody dug one up out of a ditch, they
were more of an invention. But going with your intended point,
Computers are one of the biggest inventions in human history? Sure.
Bigger than Fire? well, not sure if i'll go that far, but big.
