Jean-Baptiste Falcon and Basile Bouchon were the first to use punch cards to control textile looms, Joseph Marie Jacquard improved it with his 'Jacquard Loom' and Charles Babbage came up with idea of how to use it as input for a computer. Herman Hollerith came up with a working model of the punched card loom for the US Census at the end of the 19th century.

What were the Significances of punching cards in computers?
Punch cards were used by computer programmers back when computers used punch cards. The cards were used to tell the computer what to do. Programmers had a machine that they used to write computer programs and it would punch the holes in the cards. It took a lot of cards just to write on program.
Are punch card used for data analysis?
Punch cards store data. That data can then be analysed by feeding the cards into a punch card reader.
What was Joseph Marie's contribution to computers?
Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the Jacquard loom in 1804. It was a machine that weaved complex fabric design. It was the first machine that used punched cards. These (punched cards) were used to control the weaving process particularly the design of the clothes to be woven. In others words, he made a programmable loom,
What kinds of cards were used to control the pattern in textile factories?
Punch cards.
What government first used punch cards?
census
What were the various instances in history wherever use of punch cards were seen?
Punch cards were first widely used in the early 19th century for the Jacquard loom, which automated textile production. They gained prominence in the 20th century with Herman Hollerith's use of punch cards for the 1890 U.S. Census, significantly speeding up data processing. Later, they became integral to early computers in the mid-20th century, serving as a means to input and store data until they were gradually replaced by more advanced technologies. Additionally, punch cards were used in various voting systems, notably in the infamous 2000 U.S. presidential election.

Who invented the punch card machine?
Herman Hollerith was likely the person you're looking for. He invented and was awarded patents for a series of machines that used punched holes for a method of recording data. The true ancestor of our punch cards we think of today such as the IBM type 80. Hope this helps!
