==History== [[File:Bundesarchiv B 145 Bild-F038799-0034, Wolfsburg, VW Autowerk.jpg|thumb|[[Keypunch]] operators at Volkswagen in 1973]] The invention of [[punched card]] data processing in the 1890s created a demand for many workers, typically women, to run [[keypunch]] machines. To ensure accuracy, data was often entered twice; the second time a different keyboarding device, known as a verifier (such as the IBM 056) was used. In the 1970s, punched card data entry was gradually replaced by the use of [[video display terminal]]s.
