Herman Hollerith invented digital computer with punch card tabulating machine. The 1880 census took eight years to process.
Explanation:
Herman Hollerith was born in New York. Herman worked for the census office along with John Shaw Billings convincing him that the census office needs to upgrade to tabulate census data, instead of counting by hand.
His invention turned into a company that evolved into International Business Machines (IBM). The Hollerith Code is used to relate alphanumeric characters to holes in a punch card. This invention revolutionized the data processing industry. These punched cards were also used for computer input/output for almost a century.
