How do computer scientists discover new things that computers can do? The current generation of non-quantum computers seems to be fundamentally the same as the ones back to the 90s. The biggest difference seems that they are just faster and have different methods of inputting/outputting information.
Do computer scientists just give instructions to computers with the most processing power available and see what it can do?
For example, before CSS, websites were pretty basic. Did computer scientists figure that there must be a way to animate text and then write code like CSS to make it happen?

Fundamentally they are the same as the ones in the 90s. They are Turing complete. Newer computers are faster and have more memory, but anything you can compute on one you can compute on the other.
