In the 1950s car sales increased a lot. The interstate highway changed the way Americans traveled by making it easier to get from one place to the next. People began taking longer trips by private car and were able to travel across the country more quickly. The opportunities created by the success of the automobile industry were more jobs and cheaper cars which meant that more people could afford them. Some problems created by their successes were more traffic, pollution, and damage to cities. President Eisenhower was inspired by Germany’s highways that were built before WWII. Some other technologies that came out during the 1950s were the television, the transistor radio, a computer modem, 3D technology, and passenger jets.
