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.

Hat was a major difference between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Rhode Island?
bonufazy [111]

Rhode Island founder Roger Williams believed in religious toleration.

Roger Williams (1603-1683) firmly believed in freedom of conscience. He founded the Rhode Island colony after being banished from Massachusetts in 1636 because of his views. He advocated keeping church and state separate. Rhode Island became a safe place for various religious dissenters and minorities to find a place to exist peacefully -- Baptists, Quakers, Jews and other religious minorities. Years later, when colonial America became the United States of America and the US Constitution was being written, Roger Williams idea of maintaining a “wall of separation” between church and state influenced the framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Freedom of Religion was not the law in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.The Puritans came to America so they could practice their religion as they pleased. However, they did not allow other settlers the same religious freedom. Settlers who did not follow the Puritan ways were not allowed to own land in the colony, and were often sent away. Anne Hutchinson--mentioned in one of the question choices--was a female preacher who was persecuted as a heretic in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
