There could be computers in the game. Possible uses could be for friends to send you messages without having to connect to a private server. They could also be used to control more complex systems. Let's say you hook up an iron door, a pressure plate and TNT via redstone, all to the computer. You could program events to occur such as, 1. Door close. 2, TNT detonate. The catalyst would be the pressure plate. It could be possible to create a timeline thingy (like a video editor) and give each event a specific time without having to build a mod from the ground up. You could also have multiple catalysts, like 10 levers so you could make a combination lock for a door without hopelessly fiddling around with redstone until your game crashes.
No.
A. No difference between using the computer and not using it in your example
B. The idea is unrefined and would be murder for Mojang to code (It's essentially like making a simple programming language within java)
C. Computers already exist in Minecraft, But a basic calculator takes a ton of Redstone and space to make.
D. Notch is already moving towards things like a friends list. He has said he would like to make so servers can be switched to in game using portals (only connecting to places the server admins see fit, like a separate server for PVP)
E. If your computer crashes upon trying to make something as simple as a 10 lever Redstone lock you need a new computer. Besides, it isn't like it will keep griefers out.

Yeah! Let's make minecraft up-to-date with our technology! If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. If there was technology then minecraft would lose it's.. well.. minecrafty feel.
Hmmmmm a basic computer that we could use to program a sequence of event's well now this would be a fantastic idea to me and my friends, we would like to see if we could make it so that we could gain access to facebook on minecraft lol
