ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Powers-Samas

Powers-Samas is a type of computer used by banks and other businesses a long, long time ago. Imagine a big box with a lot of buttons, and when you push those buttons, the computer does things like helping to count money, calculating how much someone owes on a loan, or keeping track of records. Nowadays, we have much smaller computers that can do all of those tasks and more, but back then, Powers-Samas was very important in making sure businesses could keep track of all their important information.
