The+Postwar+Economy

Bryce Palm 4/24/08 [|Technology Advances] Postwar technology

Many things helped the economy after world war two. One of those was technology. The four main parts that were invented were television, computer industries, Nuclear powers, and advances in medicine. Television was created in the 1920’s and 30’s but nobody really had it. After the Second World War it boomed. These shows were performed live. People made time in their day to watch TV instead of doing other things tat could be more important. Computers were not invented yet but the researching started to get more serious in the 1950’s. The biggest part of inventions after the war was the first transistor. The bell Telephone Company made this. The biggest part of the inventions after WWII was the advances in medicine. The most successful invention was made by Dr. Jonas Salk and Dr. Thomas Francis. This was the vaccine for poliomyelitis-the most feared disease of that time (also none as polio). Before this occurred over 20,000 children would die from polio. The doctors also were able to correct heart defects better and heart surgery was more successful.

Businesses Reorganize

At the end of the war there was a lot of money. All founds and income went up. The personal founds went. They had to reconverts back from making war stuff to the old stuff. Franchise started to become popular and so did conglomerate. These flourished in the end of the 1950’s.
