The first commercial computer was unveiled on June 14, 1951.
It weighed 16,000 pounds.
It would cost $17.5 million in today’s prices.
And it had a fraction of the power your smartphone has today.

RED PLANET MARS opened June 14, 1952 at New York City's Criterion theater. It received an "A" rating from the Catholic Legion of Decency thanks to that whole God-on-Mars thing.

An American scientist (Peter Graves) contacts Mars by radio and receives information that Mars is a utopia and that Earth's people can be saved if they return to the worship of God. Revolution sweeps the Earth, including the Soviet Union. But there remains doubt about the messages being genuine, as an ex-Nazi claims he was duping the Americans. At the end of the movie, "The Beginning" appears on the screen.
Who said the USA was still not at the forefront of technology! C'mon, that's why it's stacked at eye-level on the grocery shelves. Get with the program!

“We are aberrations—beings born undead, neither one thing nor another, or two things at once … uncanny things that have nothing to do with the rest of creation, horrors that poison the world by sowing our madness everywhere we go, glutting daylight and darkness with incorporeal obscenities. From across an immeasurable divide, we brought the supernatural into all that is manifest. Like a faint haze it floats around us. We keep company with ghosts. Their graves are marked in our minds, and they will never be disinterred from the cemeteries of our remembrance. Our heartbeats are numbered, our steps counted. Even as we survive and reproduce, we know ourselves to be dying in a dark corner of infinity. Wherever we go, we know not what expects our arrival but only that it is there.”
“The major part of our species seems able to undergo any trauma without significantly re-examining its household mantras, including “everything happens for a reason,” “the show must go on,” “accept the things you cannot change,” and any other adage that gets people to keep their chins up.”
