What is punch cards and Why the punch card replaced?

A punchcard is a rectangular piece of paper card stock that is used to store data by means of punched holes in specified locations. Different company's punchcard equipment used different size cards, shape of holes, patterns of holes, etc. Examples of common card formats are:IBM 80 column - rectangular holes, 80 characters/card (this is the card most people are familiar with)Remington Rand/UNIVAC - round holes, 90 characters/cardIBM 96/128 column - small round holes, 96 or 128 characters/card (much smaller than 80 column card)Powers-Samas - round holes, 40 characters/cardetc.They were eventually replaced as technology superseded them and made them obsolete. They were very low density data storage by today's standards. A typical box of 2000 cards occupies about 0.22 cubic feet and can store 160,000 characters. Compare this to a small capacity USB thumb drive which occupies maybe a cubic inch and can store 8 billion characters. To store the same 8 billion characters on punchcards you would need about 11,000 cubic feet of warehouse space. The USB drive is directly read/write accessible by your computer, the punchcards are not you need a reader/punch connected to the computer which you will have to manually load and unload cards every few thousand. Once punched cards are read only, you can't unpunch a hole. Cards cannot be accessed by filename and must be read or punched in sequence. etc.
