Yes, you are correct.  But they were kind of limited back in those days.  Now, a modern car has many.  I remember my first contact with digital stuff in 1971.  Nand Gates and Nor Gates.  Boolean Algebra.  Things sure happened marvelously from then on.  And there was this marvelous electronic machine, used a language called "Basic".  Soon after, more languages...like "Fortran".  Oh my!!  And about 10 years later, some geeks put together something called a "Personal Computer".  I couldn't imagine why anyone besides an engineer would want one.  I was wrong.
