Hi,
I can't agree with you actually...
The blockchain is not connecting all computers. It is rather a huge chain, shared by all users. It is build up by miners, who are supposed to check all transactions. Though, it is not something tangible, so I can understand that the concept may be hard to grasp...
As for bitcoin, you can really see it as a digital currency, created by an algorithm, and shared between all miners.
However, you don't necessarily have to understand how this technically works, depending on what you want to do here!
