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.
