Today in Computer History: "Herman Hollerith receives a patent for his Hollerith Tabulating Machine, a punch card system that won a contest for a more efficient means of compiling the 1890 US census. To count an item, a small paper card on which a census taker had punched out holes corresponding to a citizen's census information, was fed through a press that sensed holes. A wire passing through the holes into a cup of mercury closed an electrical circuit and registered the item. In 1924, Hollerith's Tabulating Machine Co., and two other firms were consolidated into International Business Machines." Source the Computer Museum. In the 1890's technology started to enable the digitizing of information. How much of your business still depends on paper today? Go to usascanpro.com to see how we can help!
