Could be worse: you could've been one of those people who called their CRT monitor the "computer" and called the computer the "hard drive".
I think think for awhile as a very young kid I thought the former (by the time I learned about hard drives I knew what a monitor and computer were), but in my defense, my first exposure to computers and what my family had at that age was one of those old imac computers that really did have the screen and the computer in the same device.
Wow, that's even worse than calling the whole computer "the CPU".
