english: Now, the reason they used punch cards was that Jacquard, in France, had created the Jacquard loom, which was weaving these incredible patterns controlled by punch cards, so he was just repurposing the technology of the day, and like everything else he did, he's using the technology of his era, so 1830s, 1840s, 1850s, cogs, steam, mechanical devices. Ironically, born the same year as Charles Babbage was Michael Faraday, who would completely revolutionize everything with the dynamo, transformers, all these sorts of things.
non_english: Koristili su bušene kartice jer je Žakard u Francuskoj napravio Žakardov razboj koji je tkao ove neverovatne uzorke, koje kontrolišu bušene kartice, pa je samo menjao namenu  tehnologije tog vremena i kao i sve ostalo,  on je koristio tehnologiju svog vremena 1830-ih, 1840-ih, 1850-ih,  zupčanike, paru, mehaničke uređaje. Ironično, iste godine kad i Čarls Bebidž,  rodio se i Majkl Faradej, koji će napraviti revoluciju svega sa dinamom, transformatorima i takvim stvarima.
