Call me old fashioned but back in my day we used punch cards.
Back in the day of learning sound engineering I had to learn to splice tape for a year and use the analog studios before we were allowed to use the digital studio. I am not sure I learned anything specifically that made me a better engineer but I really really enjoyed the analog workflows, even though they were so slow and painful you really needed to think ahead and be mindful.
You 3D printed that Among Us task thing!?
Followed by trying to put the cards back in order after dropping them.
I always wanted to do that actually.
Yeah same here, I also always jokingly wondered why the CS curriculum doesn’t include history of CS, similar to history of wizardry in Harry Potter but the older I get, the more i think this would be a reasonable idea, if it would discuss what we tried and what did and didn’t work.
Or worked until we needed *
Totally endorse this idea.
Also, I'd also like to try using a card reader and puncher. I find punched tape even more fascinating.
My university offered history of mathematics and computer science as a humanities elective.
