Question

Was it possible for Albert Einstein to have used a computer to record his findings?

Answer 1

No. I think he pretty much stuck to pencil and paper. I have seen a letter he wrote on a portable typewriter (manual.)

Answer 2

No, computer's were not invented yet.

Answer 3

NO! He died before the advent of computers.

Answer 4

ACtually, there were computers in use at the time of his death in the mid fifties.  These computers were large main frames used almost solely for large scale number crunching.  Some of his colleagues at Princeton, like Schwarzschild were using computers for modelling stellar interiors, but I have never read anything about Einstein using them.

The modern version of a desktop certainly did not exist in his lifetime; the notion of using a computer for anything but massive calculations and data keeping was not yet around.

Answer 5

He didn't, but he could have, had he wanted to. In 1905, a computer was a person who performed grungy calculations (by hand) for pay.
