Q&A

Could an intelligent worm-like race invent and build computers?

+0
−0

We have a regular Earth as we know it, but instead of humans, there is this worm-like race, intelligent similarly as nowadays humans.
Their inner physiology is different from our worms (and not important for the question) but from outside they're the same as worms as we know them here on earth, but bigger (average length circa 150 centimetres).
That means no arms, no legs etc.

The question I really have is what machines would they built, but that is too broad and probably also opinion based.

So the question I REALLY ASK is if this race COULD build the same machines we currently have (in similar time) and especially I am thinking about COMPUTERS.
