Hollerith was an employee of the US Census Bureau. As there were no electronic computers, it was not a computer punch card, but was used in the 1890 census to semi-automate the processing and counting using electromechanical counters and sorters.
To count data in the 1890 census, which could not have been completed on time to meet the requirements of the constitution using traditional hand methods. The tabulator also controlled a sorter so that cards could be separated for appropriate further processing later on other tabulators.
The United States Census Bureau was the first government bureau to use punch cards for data collection. They began using punch cards in the late 19th century to process and tabulate census data. This technology greatly improved the speed and accuracy of data processing and became widely adopted by various government agencies and industries.
Though many say there is no secular proof of a Census earlier than 1 AD, consider this article: 'The proof of history is in the "Chronicle of John Malalas", translated by Matthew Spinka (Univ. of Chicago Press, 1940). John Malalas was a historian of Antioch, Syria (c. 491-578 A.D.). On pages 32-33 he writes: "In the 39th year and the 10th month of his [Augustus'] reign he commanded the taking of a census of all his lands, including all that the Romans held during the consulship of Agrippa II, and of Donatus. And all the earth under the Romans was registered by Eumenes and Attalus, the Roman senators." So by using the October to October calendar Malalas used, it dates the issuance of the decree for this census to JULY, 5 B.C. There is one Suidas - another reliable authority - as well as many others, that add information about Augustus' decree, proving the census in Palestine was conducted the very next year - 4 B.C., the very time Christ was born! Therefore, it seems history does indeed have abundant evidence from both early Christians and early PAGANS to corroborate this census (see the excellent article in Unger's "Bible Dictionary" under "Chronology").'
