The 1950s saw a period of strong economic growth and expansion in the United States following World War II. Industrial production switched from military to consumer goods, increasing the gross national product and per capita income. Suburbs grew rapidly driven by the postwar baby boom and availability of affordable housing and cars. New technologies like television and computers entered homes, while medical advances eradicated polio and improved heart surgeries.
