Question: What prevented computers from having an impact on everyday life in the 1950s? (Points : 3)

<em>Options:  </em>

• Business demand was so high that they were not available for personal use.

• Few people were buying luxuries of any kind at the time.  

• Congress approved them for government and military use only.  

• They were too large and expensive for personal use.

Answer: The correct answer is:  <u>They were too large and expensive for personal use.</u>

Explanation: In the 1950's, the US Government received the UNIVAC 1101 or ERA 1101. It was the first computer capable of storing and running a program from memory. In the 1950's, computers were very expensive and they would take up a lot of room so they were impractical to own. Only the largest firms and institutions could afford to a computer and they were mostly used for accounting and weapons development.

According to the Declaration of Independence, what are the three most basic rights?
Eva8 [605]

The correct answer is C) life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The freedom of speech, assembly, and religion are all part of the Bill of Rights, what is written within the US Constitution- not the Declaration of Independence. This is also true for the right to vote, to bear arms, and the right to remain silent.

The idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was a critical part of the Declaration of Independence. These values emphasized how the newly independent American citizens valued the ability to make their own decisions.

Vesna [10]

Despite the original purpose of the articles of confederation, from its beginning the delegates were determined to address the issues of a weak central government.

<h3>The reasons for the revision of the article.</h3>

The reason why the article was to be revised was the fact that it lacked the ability to assign several powers to the federal government of the country.

This inability made the federal government unable to discharge some of its duties to the country.
