punched card technology

Punched card technology refers to a method of data storage and processing that uses cards with holes punched into them. It was widely used in early computer systems as a means to input, store, and retrieve data. The holes on the cards represent binary digits, allowing for the representation of information in a machine-readable format. Punched card technology played a crucial role in the development of early computing systems by enabling the automation of tasks and facilitating data processing in a structured manner.
