OTL, computers began serious development around the WW2 era, where they originally served in grinding out artillery firing tables (eg, ENIAC) and bombsights on aircraft (eg, Norden bombsight). What if we were able to bring similar computers back to WWI? How would that effect the role of artillery and air craft? What would happen to tanks, which can't as easily benefit from them? To simplify things, assume that technology isn't drastically altered, so computing technology is the only field that's really advanced compared to OTL. Electrical and mechanical engineering will probably require a slight, but not large boost.
