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.

The correct answer is A. It can be more responsive to the interests of citizens.

Explanation

Direct democracy is a form of government in which all members of a community/country/state actively participate in all decisions made there. On the other hand, there is indirect democracy, the evolution of direct democracy, in it, the decisions depend on a group of representatives elected by citizens, this modality of democracy has been adopted in most modern states.

Direct democracy has advantages over indirect democracy because it better responds to the interests of citizens as each of them will actively participate in the government, thus allowing decisions to be made and ensuring that their interests are taken into account. On the other hand, in indirect democracy, once you elect your representative, you have no direct control over the decisions he makes, regardless of whether they go against your interests. Therefore, the correct answer is A. It can be more responsive to the interests of citizens.

Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source (the link you provided); provide an accurate summary
NeX [460]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the previous link was not attached, we can say the following.

The central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source are the following,

A primary resource comes from the people who witnessed the event, the incident, or the specific moment. These people could have written their own descriptions, testimonies, books, or maybe journalists that directly reported what happened. It also could be an interview with people who were part of the historical event. For instance, if it is a soldier that participated in the Vietnam War, a journalist can interview him and use it as a primary source.

On the other hand, secondary sources can be obtained from other sources that were not direct. This could be an author that based its story in other investigations, or it could be encyclopedias.
