Who was it that brought up the subject of electricity?

Urgh. In the event that you're just incredibly dense rather than, as it appears, evasively dishonest, I'll explain the fallacy involved in your rebuttal.

It was explained that computers are a result of more than electrical theory, in response to your claim that Biotech firms don't benefit solely from the Theory of Evolution. In other words, you were attacking evolution because it is not the sole provider of benefit for biotech firms.

You apparently couldn't stand that Junior had effectively pointed out an analagous situation -- evolution isn't the sole source of benefit for biotech as electrical theory isn't the sole source of benefit for computers -- so you changed the subject by throwing up an apples and oranges comparison. Ignoring the validity of Junior's comparison, you claimed that computers wouldn't be possible without electrical theory (true, but totally irrelevant) and that we could live fulfilled lives without the ToE. Your comparison was illogical (comparing one theory to the fruit of another, which is a faulty comparison because they're different types of objects), an evasion of the original point (that a single theory isn't the foundation for an industry, even if that theory is useful for that theory) and ultimately meaningless, because people can and do live fulfilled lives without knowledge of electrical theory.
