I was watching a local show called New Media News
(
http://www.newmedianews.com/) last night and they had a bit with Gwen Bell
talking about punch cards. She said that they were invented by Hollerith
at the end of the last century for use with the census. Was I drunk or did
we just go through a whole discussion about the cards being invented for
the Jacquard loom?
