Meh, it depends entirely what you mean by "storage". If you mean archival-storage-for-a-hundred-years, punch cards properly stored will outlive flash, optical, or magnetic storage.

However, do you have any idea what a mere terabyte of punch cards looks like? The logistics of storing and organizing that many cards is pretty daunting.

(1 terabyte == approximately 68 million boxes of punch cards)

assuredly it is the future of digital entertainment format. Unlike USB, the content is less vulnerable.

But, to pump it into the market was an unnecessary step for society, and thus I cannot support it.
The content on those videos are not substantially better, and thus are not vindicated.

Blueray games are also not better.


I am curious who else was disappointed in the production of blueray.
coupled with your unbiased opinions about it's qualities.

That's nice dear.

Best not to think about it. I'm guessing a several rooms worth of punch cards. But nobody has tried right? So it's hard to say.

It's also a pain in the ass hauling out my High Definition Punch Card player, and then you have to get up every .0001 seconds to load a new card in.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You guys are forgetting the perfect solution. Punch tape! Higher data density and conveniently spliceable. Good for those movies that run longer than 30 seconds. Big Grin

Well I don't see how can someone be for blu-ray, because back in DVD & VHS days you went to video-store and borrowed it, but now that video-stores are gone you have to buy blu-rays if you want to watch them and I think I never bought a single VHS for instance. Not to mention that for some reason (probably fees for Sony) blu-rays are much more expensive then DVDs.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Back in the late 70's when I was running the family Dry Cleaners, we had Neil & Spencer English Dry Cleaning machines which used programmable (punchable) punch cards...!

A few years later we imported the newest models from England and they came with a fully programmable numeric keypad.
It certainly made life easier!
