H2O is not conductive.

True. When working with live high voltage lines, I'll soak my rubber-soled electrician boots with water to make sure they are extra insulative... in fact, I make sure I'm standing in a puddle of water before I'll even consider touching a live wire.

Hehe... Oh Internet... How I love your ability to throw countless failed "ownages" my way.

H2O is not conductive, it's the impurities in the water that light the way.

Try researching something before attempting to school others on a subject.

If they did that, there'd be no problem as electronics would surely survive a dip in a non-conductive liquid like water.

A computer will run in distilled water. I recommend trying it.
