He was born on February 29, 1860 in Buffalo, N.Y. He died in November 17, 1929, in Washington, D.C. He went to school at Columbia University's School of Mines and then later helped out in the 1880 U.S. census. By the time of the 1890 census, he had invented machines to record statistics by electrically reading and sorting punched cards, and the census results were consequently obtained in one-third the time required in 1880. In 1896 he founded the Tabulating Machine Company, which later became IBM Corporation. Hollerith's electromechanical sensing and punching devices were forerunners of the input and output units of later computers. and that's how he got his name
