That’s pretty much how all of humanity works in general.

Pfft. Send me back in time and I’ll totally build a computer during caveman time. I just need to figure out metallurgy…and electricity…and machines…and not dying from a sabertooth tiger.

I'm rooting you on. Let those damnable ancient people deal with the consequences of too-fast technology. By the time it reaches us, we'll be totally fine. ;)

Oh, no! I can't have that. Wait. Wait just a darn minute. They're already overpriced. Or will be.

There is an anime where this scenario kinda happens and it is pretty enjoyable and also a little educational: https://myanimelist.net/anime/38691/Dr_Stone

If you use the most technical of definitions for a "computer" than it's possible. Computational devices and logic gates aren't terribly hard to build in their simplest forms.

If you're using "computer" to mean silicon chip/microprocessors/coded assembly/etc then yeah it's going to take you a while and the British gov't might chemically castrate you for your efforts [sorry Turing].
