Yes 'social needs' is a polite way of saying card indexing captured populations for processing, status allocation and possible extermination.Punched cards back then were created on a typewriter data entry device, then stored in cabinets, and fed into data processing machines, which sorted and selected cards due to selected needs. More efficient than humans doing it by hand and eye.Technology can be used for very bad purposes by evil people.The modern version is TIA and its bastard ilk.
There was nothing remotely socialist about the NSDP apart from a word they borrowed in the 20s to appeal to left leaning middle types.It was a con job, corporate fascism is a better description of the NSDP.
circa 95, I paid 120 UKP (British pounds) for 4MB of RAM (80ns), then splashed out on another one :) for AMD DX2-66,then after a year went out and bought a DX4-120 for the mobo, oh wonderful days. The 16MB DIMMs which were going for 400UKP looked very nice, but alas was outside my budget at the time.Now its 30UKP for 1GB or whatever they go for now.
Anybody who wishes to relive or just explore the old tech, just google for emulators,theres loads of good emulator software out there for most hardware, plus the apps and games to run on them.Some of the old 8bit 80s games never made it onto more modern machine and are still fun today.Even just for nostalgia reasons or for educational purposes.

COSTED?

Just from reading it I'd say that was "machine translated" (ala Babel Fish) from some language other than English... my $0.02 worth. ;)
