@mediaarchaeologylab LOL I grew up with the only paper in the house being old punch cards, because my mom used to code them for her job.

@ai6yr @mediaarchaeologylab I almost got in trouble once for leaving a pile of punch cards at the front of the classroom for a prof. I may have triggered a traumatic flashback.

(flashback to 1950, when prof was a student)

"Hi professor! Here's my homework... I worked on it all night!" (slips on floor) "WHOOPS! AWWW CRUD! I DROPPED THE ENTIRE STACK!!! 😭 "

My major professor did his bachelor degree in Minnesota. He recalls someone taking his entire PhD research contained on punch cards across campus one day when a gust of wind scattered those thousands of cards to the four corners of the state.
