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.

Research America's open door policy with China beginning in 1899. Explain how relations with the United States and China have ch
MArishka [77]
I got this from Brittinica.com and these are the most important details from it:

'Open Door policy, statement of principles initiated by the United States in 1899 and 1900 for the protection of equal privileges among countries trading with China and in support of Chinese territorial and administrative integrity.The principle that all countries should have equal access to any of the ports open to trade in China. But after Japan’s defeat in World War II (1945) and the communist victory in China’s civil war (1949), which ended all special privileges to foreigners, made the Open Door policy meaningless.

I hope this was helpful.
