In the last two decades of the 20th century computers played at least
a minor roll in perhaps half of the discoveries made world wide. The
percentage is almost as high for the first 8 decades if you use a very
loose definition of computer (slide rule, adding machine) and consider
discoveries by scientists and engineers in the USA only. The
percentage is much lower if you include the daily discoveies made
world wide by the billion children under age sixteen.  It would be
difficult to define first time ever discoveries, if that is what you
had in mind.  Some important discoveries of the late twentieth century
are DVD, CCD = charge coupled devise, water on Mars, extra solar
system planets... Most of what appears to be new has roots in the
early 20th century or even earier.   Neil
