Clothing in the 50s

For women, dresses were the look of the moment. They could choose between wearing
a dress with a fitted style to the body or wearing one carved on the back and with a
flared skirt; both styles highlighting the waist. Dresses or short skirts were synonymous
with disrespect, as were bathing suits, for this reason the length of these garments was
below the knees. heel were the protagonists of elegance.

On the other hand, accessories began to be an important ally of the ladies' look. The
1950s were characterized by the use of wide-brimmed hats, gloves, and colored horn-
rimmed glasses. The most common jewelry was pearl necklaces and bracelets.

In men, the Jamen Dean style was imposed, a young film actor of that time who
influenced men's fashion, the quintessential garments of the gentlemen of that time were
formal suits with wide plain, striped or checkered pants, vests, with white cotton shirts,
ties and handkerchiefs. The use of suspenders, gloves, hats or berets as male accessories
was also common. The woman also stood out with the hairstyles of the decade. Curls
were one of the most famous trends, as was the Italian bun. Short hair was also favored
with pronounced and very sensual waves, the blonde color trend in the hair of the ladies
of the 50s.
For their part, the men did not have much to choose from, short and well-defined hair
was enough. They combed their hair with a side parting with a pompadour, applying
hair gel (gel) to fix the hair well.

Sports in the 50s

The 50's: 'The golden decade of sport'
Great figures and events lived their best moments at this time.
From time to time it doesn't hurt to dust off the history books and learn a little about the
roots that nurtured what we know today about the sports world.

Spectacular figures and unforgettable events were part of a 'golden' decade, the decade
of the 50s and here we tell you what the most outstanding moments were:

The Maracanazo in Brazil 1950

One of the most remembered events in the history of world soccer is the Maracanazo,
that day in which 11 Uruguayan heroes managed to silence the mythical Maracana
Stadium. The 'Garra Charrúa' won against Brazil in the 1950 World Cup final at the
'Canarinha' home, in a stadium full of Rio fans waiting to see, once again, their team
win the Cup of the world.

Any Brazilian hallucinates the name of Alcides Ghiggia, the Uruguayan legend who
scored that goal that meant the Second World Cup for Uruguay. The great story tells
that not a soul spoke again after that goal in the second half of the match.

The final score was 2-1 in favor of the catracho team. From that date, Brazil never wore
the white uniform again.

Don Alfredo Di Stéfano and Real Madrid of the 5 European Cups

If you are a Real Madrid fan and you don't know this legend, you have a problem. 'La
Saeta Rubia' is for many, the best player in merengue history.
The Argentine player with number 9 was unique in his way of playing; As such, he
performed as a 'midfielder', however, many say that Don Alfredo did not have a fixed
position on the field. As can be seen in the few videos, Di Stéfano appeared anywhere
on the court; He was ahead of his time, he could get the ball as a containment would do
today, steal balls, assist like a '10', dribble down the wing like a winger, mark the
passing line like the brains of a team and finish off like few others players have done it
in history.

This Real Madrid was that of the 5 European Cups; Along with Alfredo Di Stéfano,
there were also world football legends such as the Hungarian Ferenc Puskás (yes, that's
where the name of the Goal of the Year Award at the Ballon d'Or was born) and
Francisco Gento, the Spanish winger who won 6 European Cups (maximum winner in
the history of the tournament; he has more than Madrid's staunch rival, Futbol Club
Barcelona).

The legend of King Pelé begins

Edson Arantes do Nascimento 'Pelé' is for many the best player in the history of soccer.
The Brazilian crack achieved 3 World Cups in his career, however, his legacy would
begin in Sweden 1958.

The discovery of the new idol was in the most important match of that tournament. Pelé
would go down in the history books with an all-paid ticket, after scoring two goals in
that final against the host team; the score of that game was 5-2 in favor of the South
American team. With this victory, Brazil won its first title in World Cup history.

At 17 years of age, the young man from Rio dominated the biggest sporting event in the
world together with Garrincha. This team scored 21 goals in six games.
The best game in NFL history

As the history books document, the best game in NFL history was played in the 1958
season between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium. This
National Conference Final match was the first to go into overtime in all time, for which
it marked a before and after; the final score went to Baltimore, who won 23-17 against
the locals, with the winning touchdown.

Experts say that December 28 was when the National Football League was really born.
With this, years later it would become the most popular sport in the American Union.

The NBC television network helped spread it. It is estimated that 45 million spectators
participated in the historic event.
Juan Manuel Fangio, 'The Master' of F1

Argentine driver Juan Manuel Fangio is one of the best in F1 history. The motorsports
legend managed to be world champion five times, in addition to two runner-up finishes
in his career.

'El Maestro' made his debut in 1950 as a professional motor sport; raced for Mercedes-
Benz, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and Ferrari; He contested 53 Grand Prix, where he
achieved 24 victories, 35 podiums, 29 pole positions and 23 fastest laps.

Figures such as Lewis Hamilton, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher have declared
how great this historical South American character was.

Video games in the 50's

The history of video games has its origin in the 1950s when, after the end
of World War II, the victorious powers of the war built the first
programmable supercomputers. Note 1 The first attempts to implement
programs of a ludic nature ( initially chess programs) did not take long to
appear, and were repeated during the following decades.

For quite some time it has been difficult to point out which was the first
video game, mainly due to the multiple definitions of it that have been
established, but Nought and crosses, also called OXO, developed by
Alexander S. Douglas in 1952.
what we know today as video games was born around the 1950s, back then
it was just a technological oddity at a science fair but, as we now know,
they had an unstoppable rise.

On October 18, 1958, William Higinbotham and Robert Dvorak, Sr.

showed off a tennis simulator they called Tennis for Two. It was developed
on a Donner Model 30 analog computer using an oscilloscope.
