  3. Author’s Purpose and Perspective • One of the earliest types of computers was created in 1888 by Herman Hollerith. Hollerith invented a machine to count the results of the United States census of 1890. A census is an official count of how many people live in a place. Hollerith’s machine used a punch-card system to collect information. Census takers punched holes next to certain numbers. Then Hollerith’s machine read the pattern of holes punched in each card. This type of computer seems very old fashion compared to computers of today. Still, the punch-card machine was an important step in the history of the computer.
