An electronic punch card system was the first data entry system for computers. Cards were punched with holes according to the information that was stored or directions for the computer. The card was inserted into a card reader and the data was collected. Factories still use a type of punch card system with their manual time cards. Only with the time card, information is printed on the card instead of holes punched.
It is the medium by which people communicate with computers in the olden days. Computer programs are written in punched cards, input data are also written in punched cards. There was a special machine called "card reader" to interpret what were in the punched cards and convert them into machine readable form.
