...I could read a punched card...

Boy, does that bring back memories.

Where I went to school, you could pick out the computer science majors; they all had a half dozen rubber bands around their wrists. The engineering majors had a slide rule in a holster on their hips. (The math majors were all off in their own world somewhere.)

When I went to high school, early 60’s, no one knew what Data Processing was, now called IT. It was something done in large buildings on large machines. It was a big mystery as to what was being done in those buildings. LOL
