| | Hollerith |
 | | Although Hollerith made a very significant contribution to the development of the modern electronic computer with his punched card technology not all his ideas were similar great successes. | | | This appointment was very significant because it was in solving the problems of analysing the large amounts of data generated by the 1880 US census that Hollerith was led to look for ways of manipulating data mechanically. | | | He developed the early work he had done at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on methods to convert the information on punched cards into electrical impulses. |

| | It is ironic that today’s computer industry has its origins in a data-processing project carried out [by Hermann Hollerith] in 1890 that was completed on time and under budget. | | | Modern computerisation projects, in contrast, tend to have far more in common with [Charles] Babbage’s ill-fated attempt to build a mechanical computer, which cost a fortune and was eventually abandoned. | | | No one knows how many computer software projects go awry, but my observations as a software consultant in many corporations suggest that easily a majority are colossal failures, though such blunt labels offend sensibilities and are typically eschewed. |

| | Herman Hollerith |
| | The "80-column" concept was later carried forward in various forms into modern applications — the majority of typewriter s, professional text user interface computers, terminal s and wordprocessor systems (including printers), used 80 columns as the de facto standard of printouts and screen display (until graphical user interface s 'took over' the computer world). | | | This article was originally based on material from the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, used with permission. | | | He was born in Buffalo, New York and graduated from Columbia University, New York, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1879 and a PhD in 1890. |

| | Hermann Hollerith adapted the concept for data storage and processing in the 1890 census. | | | Now source and object programs would no longer match, creating new challenges in debugging and program maintenance. | | | Hermann Holerith's company, the Tabulating Machine Corporation (TMC) merged with two other companies in 1911 to become the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), which changed its name to International Business Machines (IBM) in 1924. |

| | Computer memory using punched holes - shortly before 1890 the era of modern electronic data processing was inaugurated by Hermann Hollerith's invention of the first punched card counting machine. | | | Evaluating the data leads us to learn about AND- and OR-switching elements which are still the basis of the logical building blocks of today's computers. | | | We will find out how punched cards store data by looking in detail at a reconstruction of Hollerith's machine. |

| | His tabulating machine counted punched cards, inspired by a card system developed by Joseph Jacquard of France to program patterns into textile looms. | | | Hermann Hollerith incorporated the Tabulating Machine Company on this day in 1896. | | | At age twenty-nine, Hollerith, who had worked at the Census Bureau in 1880, won a competition to develop the most efficient counting system for the 1890 census. |

| | Hollerith's solution was to introduce a rectangular card divided into 240 squares, in each of which a hole could be punched according to a code. | | | Hollerith developed his methods further and started a company which, in the following decades, was to provide the business world with a whole family of punched card machines for bookkeeping and statistics. | | | Hollerith's company flourished and became one of the cornerstones of IBM, founded in 1912. |

| | IBM's Makovich says that at the time the United States entered World War II, in 1941, IBM owned 84 percent of German subsidiary Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen GmbH (Dehomag for short), which sold the punchcard technology invented by the engineer Hermann Hollerith in the 1890s. | | | The book's publisher, Little, Brown and Co., issued this statement: "IBM Germany, using its own staff and equipment, designed, executed, and supplied the indispensable technologic assistance Hitler's Third Reich needed to accomplish what had never been done before--the automation of human destruction." |
