This list is funny.
All of these things existed in pre computer form.
A scheduler used to be a person putting punch cards into a machine.

My reply in a sibling thread[0] is applicable here too. I'm not sure if you have the same things in mind as skeledrew, but at least this seems probably relevant:
> If you broaden the criteria enough then you can interpret most anything as "something that a human does/did". Like: humans "have fun" and therefore video games don't count, or humans can jump therefore they "travel through the air" therefore airplanes are just "doing something that humans do". But I don't think this reading of the upthread comment leads to interesting discussion.
I'd be happy to discuss specific examples of the "pre computer forms", if you provide some.

What's the human form of a video game ?
Board games? All sorts of toys?
Well not really, since the board game itself doesn't need a paid human to work. It's been crafted by a human, but video games are also crafted by (arguably many more) humans. The closest would be escape games, or larger scale games maybe
