Computers are used for everything
Computers were no sold to the public in the 1950's, so you couldn't buy one. Desktop computers did not exist and neither did things like mice, software, or keyboards for a computer. EM ac the first computer filled an entire room with the machines that made it run. It used magnetic tape and key punch cards for programs and couldn't go online. This was only used by the government. It won't be until another 20+ years before there is a desktop computer.
