Hermann Hollerith - The First Computer Geek

Herman Hollerith - Punch Cards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern data processing began with the inventions of American engineer, Herman Hollerith.
In 1881, Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data more efficiently than by traditional hand methods. The U.S. Census Bureau had taken eight years to complete the 1880 census, and it was feared that the 1890 census would take even longer. Herman Hollerith invented and used a punched card device to help analyze the 1890 US census data. Herman Hollerith's great breakthrough was his use of electricity to read, count, and sort punched cards whose holes represented data gathered by the census-takers. His machines were used for the 1890 census and accomplished in one year what would have taken nearly ten years of hand tabulating. In 1896, Herman Hollerith founded the Tabulating Machine Company to sell his invention, the Company became part of IBM in 1924.

It is tough. I would either be Elizabeth I of England or Catherine the Great of Russia. Both were interesting women.
