Indirectly. The majority of the power we use comes from fossil energy, so computers are partly powered by the burning of fossil fuels, which contributes to air pollution. The energy that went into producing the computers also came to some extent from the burning of fossil fuels, so again a contribution. Then the computers had to transported from where they were produced and eventually to the homes of the users. Most of that transport was most likely powered by fossil fuels as well.
