Sorry, I poorly worded that (and even used the word literally. Sigh). My bad.

I meant that we invented computers to do mathematical calculations, of which timezones are a great example.

Getting rid of the timezones doesn't mean we get rid of computers. It just means all benefits we get from using computers for timezones are now lost. and we have to do mental calculations to figure out what 4:30am means at any given location.
