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

History

k0ka [10]3 years ago

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.

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado planned to search for Cíbola by __________.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado planned to search for Cíbola by relying on Friar Marcos de Niza to be his guide.

Explanation:

Cibola was a legendary city that was believed to be located somewhere in the American southwest. According to tradition it possessed unprecedented wealth.

As the Spaniards began to discover the New World, the idea arose that the city of Cibola might be located on this continent.  In 1527, an expedition by the Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez was shipwrecked off the coast of modern-day Texas. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was one of the few survivors, who said they had heard the Indians talk about cities of enormous wealth.  

Cibola has also been described by Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan monk, who claimed to have seen one of the cities from a distance on a journey of discovery.

In 1540, an expedition of the Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado set out to discover these seven cities and seize the alleged riches. However, the journey turned into a disappointment and many of the expedition members died along the way.

NEED HELP ASAP WILL GIVE BRAINLYIST AND POINTS.
madreJ [45]

Answer: This unit serves an introduction to world regions and interconnections as of the  

year 300 CE. The teacher explains that a central question of the seventh-grade  

world history course is How did the distant regions of the world become more  

interconnected through medieval and early modern times? In this unit, students  

will study the interconnections of world cultures in 300 CE. The world’s people  

were fundamentally divided into two regions: Afroeurasia (or the Eastern  

Hemisphere) and the Americas (or the Western Hemisphere). In the Americas,  

there were many different cultures. In two areas, Mesoamerica and the area along  

the Andean mountain spine, states and empires with large cities were supported by  

advanced agricultural techniques and widespread regional trade. In 300 CE, the  

Maya were building a powerful culture of city-states, and Teotihuacán in central  

Mexico was one of the largest cities in the world. These two centers traded with  

each other. In the Andes region, the state of Tiahuanaco extended its trade  

networks from modern-day Peru to Chile. While these two regions were probably  

not in contact with each other, trade routes crossed much of North and South America.
