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.

They were too large and expensive - typically a computer would fill a room and would have to have its own power supply.

labwork [276]

1) Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.

2) in the middle of his career, in 1793, he developed a severe illness that left him bedridden for months. He experienced headaches, dizziness, hallucinations, vision problems and ringing in his ears. Most of these symptoms eventually went away, but the illness left him deaf. in a new analysis, Dr. Ronna Hertzano, a surgeon and hearing expert at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said that Goya may have suffered from an autoimmune disease called Susac's syndrome. In this rare condition, a person's immune system attacks small blood vessels in the brain, retina and inner ear, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Symptoms can include severe headaches, difficulties thinking, psychiatric problems and loss of vision, balance and hearing.

3) The third of May 1808
