While we can remember and recall a lot of information, It is still difficult for us to remember each detail of that piece of information. Storing information in books and paper was not an permanent option due to their volatility. We are generating more data than ever before. Of course that means we need to store all of it somewhere. So let's see the about the data storage method throughout the years: 1) PUNCH CARDS(1890): These are Super retro. Punch cards were the first mechanical storage method. The earliest computers were programmed using stiff sheets of paper with commands and other data represented by the presences and absences of holes in pre-defined positions.
