∙ 14y agoThe first electronic computers were built during World War II so your question is about a time when even I was not born yet.
In those days the computers that were in existence were used mainly by the Military for calculating the trajectory of Artillery shells fired from big guns into enemy territory. Another use the British used computers for was reading German Military messages at the same time or even before the Germans read the messages.
What was in use was very big, very expensive, and used about a small towns worth of electricity to do what to-days wristwatches do
Because electronic computer were so new very few people knew they existed so the computers were used for very things really

∙ 15y agoComputer Graphics were done with oscilloscopes (See Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). Computers were "green-screen" with Sprite monochrome graphics. The major available and somewhat reasonably priced technology was a TI scientific calculator. Still a big advance over slide rules (still used in colleges in the late 70's).
