Someday all semiconductors will break down, and therefore all computers, as (with the exception of historical instruments) no computers exist today that are not based on semiconductor technology.
The breakdown will be caused by a giant electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by a nuclear explosion outside earth's atmosphere. It will cover large areas on earth, up to the size of a continent.
Where it will happen is unpredictable. But it will happen, since it is extremely unlikely that we will be able to get rid of all nuclear weapons, and the probability for it to happen at any given time will never be zero.
The implications of such an event will be enormous. If it happens to one of our technology - based societies, literally everything will break down. You will realize that none of your phones work. There is no way to find out via the internet what happened.
Your car will not start, as it is also controlled by computer chips - unless you are lucky enough to own an antique car. Your local supermarket will be unable to get new supplies. There will be no trucks operating, no trains, no electricity, no water supplies. Society will completely break down.
There will be small exceptions in those countries where military equipment has been hardened against EMPs, making the army available for emergency relief. In some countries, even some emergency civilian infrastructre has been hardened against EMPs. But these are excetpons. Most governments simply ignore the danger.
