The increase in the late 1950's coincides with Sputnik, IGY, the start
of the space age, and the cold war. People got interested in technology
partly because it was patriotic to do so and partly because there were
a lot of scientific advances that captured people's imagination.
The late 1970's and early 1980's where when the first personal computers
came out. People with interest in technology shifted towards computers.
