If it's punch cards, it's IBM. They are the one's who "made it big" in the early computer days. But they were actually invented in 1881 by Herman Hollerith, an American engineer.
Because the computer can't read my thoughts and I need some way
to tell it what I want it to do. When I first started using
computers you used punched cards to do that and the keypunch that
punched the cards had a keyboard but was not connected to the
computer. You punched the deck using the keyboard on the keypunch,
then took the deck to the computer's card reader.
