You are on the right path, but have the causation wrong.
"Think like a computer" is the wrong way to look at it, because you have not pondered what a computer is.
When was the last time you ever used it to "compute" anything? A SLIDE RULE is ALWAYS used for computation. ALWAYS. Yes, it's a COMPUTER!
Most of a computer's COMPUTATIONS are used to render screens that the dumb chimp behind the keyboard can understand. You don't want to think like that
