Das Argument "kuenstlich" ist insofern unbedeutend, weil der Begriff "Rechner" (Computer) nur einen Aspekt der Universalmaschine beschreibt. Die Findung treffender Bezeichnungen fuer neue Dinge ist nicht trivial.
Ich habe es auch schon mit "Bitrad" versucht, weil ich DV/IV fuer aehnlich universal halte wie das Rad. Bitgetriebe oder Bitmotor oder Bitraederwerk waere "besser", doch all dem haftet die Begrenzung auf die (technische) Mengen-Maszeinheit der Information an, dem ich das "Deut" als Qualitaets-Masz entgegensetze.
Deutomat, der -en. Automatische universelle programmgesteuerte Symbolverarbeitungsmaschine, frueher: Computer; siehe ADV.
ADV, Abk. f. Automatische Daten-Verarbeitung, siehe Deutomat.
