Lots of things. Neither Medicare (1965) nor Medicaid (1965), which provide healthcare to millions of impoverished, disabled, and elderly people, didn't exist in 1950. Nor did NASA (1958) and the US space program. The NSF (1950) which funds most non-biomedical research in the US, was founded in that year, and while the NIH technically existed in 1950, it was mostly just the research institute in Maryland, not the funding agency it also comprises today. DARPA (1957), the defense research and funding agency that among other things created the ancestor of the very network you are using to post here, also didn't exist. You could go on and on.
