Here's a challenging thought experiment: What is the most modern technology that you could go back in time the farthest and still make? Ex: I think I could go back about 500 years and make: A simple camera. An electric battery. An electric guitar (but not an amp). You?
So a 1 bit computer? I guess the question then is, how many would you need and how much juice to power them. That's the killer I think. Old transistor computers were massive power hogs.

In the Three Body Problem, they create a computer using thousands of people holding up flags for ones and zeroes. That could be a way of making a computer.

Hmmmmmmmmm that could go back to where there's writing, even farther. What about the same concept but like an abacus?

Well, I can say that my “solution” started to catch fire if left on for more than 10 seconds. So, yeah. Power hog :-).
