21. ELECTROMECHANICAL AGE
The discovery of ways to harness
electricity was the key advance
made during this period.
Knowledge and information could
now be converted into electrical
impulses.
23. Alessandro Volta

PILE which is considered
to be the first source of
stored electricity in the 8th
Century.

35. Punched Cards
A punch card or punched card (or
punch card or Hollerith card or IBM
card), is a piece of stiff paper that
contains digital information represented
by the presence or absence of holes in
predefined positions.
It was used through the 20th century in
unit record machines for input,
processing, and data storage.
