Is there something vaguely resembling a census of computing over time?
There are timelines, as at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_computing_1950%E2%80%931979
That notes specific events, introduction of machines or specific technologies. Occasionally units shipped may be determined --- The Kenbak-1, the first personal computer, selling for $750 in 1971 ($4,800 in 2021), moved 40 units.
What I'm looking for is something which might include:
Statista (behind a paywall) has values for, e.g., PCs worldwide 2013--2019: https://www.statista.com/statistics/610271/worldwide-personal-computers-installed-base/
