Why did computers not have an impact on everyday life in the 1950s?

History

Computers didn't have an impact on everyday life in the 1950s because they were too large and expensive for personal use.

Before the introduction of the microprocessor in the early 1970s, computers were generally large and expensive systems owned by large corporations, universities, government agencies, and similarly sized institutions. The end users generally did not interact directly with the machine, but rather prepared tasks for the computer, in off-line equipment such as card punches. Several assignments for the computer would be collected and processed in batches. After the work was over, users could pick up the results. In some cases it could take hours or days between submitting a job to the computer center and receiving the output.

How was Stonewall Jackson's army able to surprise the Union army at Chancellorsville?
Natali [406]

Answer:

The correct answers are B, C and D. Stonewall Jackson's army marched secretly to a spot on the side of the Union Army and then they attacked, while the Union forces were not expecting this.

Explanation:

The Battle of Chancellorsville was a major victory for Confederate troops over the Union Army and is one of the jewels of military strategy.   Jackson and Lee masterfully used bluffing and covert shifts to deceive the enemy, and at one point they reached for the opportunity to encircle and completely destroy General H0oker's army.

During this battle, H0oker took a position north of Chancellorsville, leaving his left wing unprotected. Noticing that, Lee attacked with 20,000 people against Ho0ker's left wing, and sent Jackson to H0oker's right wing with 25,000 people. On May 2, Jackson attacked and pushed H0oker's right wing. The next day, H0oker took his forces to better positions. On the same day, General Sedgwick repulsed Lee's weak forces near Fredricksburg, but reinforcements that arrived on May 4 forced Sedgwick to withdraw. On May 6, Lee ordered a general attack. H0oker saw that the battle was lost and retreated to the left bank of the Repehenek.

Only the death of Stonewall Jackson after his men mistaken him for an enemy in the night fight saved the Union from destruction. As a result, the Confederacy's victory was not nearly as complete as it should have been.

However, the Union army escaped, and the death of Jackson, considered the Confederate's best field tactician and General Lee's irreplaceable right hand, was a catastrophe from which Southern troops never fully recovered.
