Fun fact
Keypunches were used in early computing to punch precise holes in stiff paper card. The punched cards were then used for data input, output, and storage. No code linters or auto-complete suggestions to help out back then! 😅

Fun fact
The Hansen Writing Ball shown in the badge was the first commercially produced typewriter. It was put into production in 1870 with its unique ergonomic design. It was overtaken in the market in 1873 by the Sholes and Glidden typewriter which was the first keyboard to utilise the QWERTY layout we now use today.

Fun fact
The computer in this badge is loosely based on the Commodore PET which was one of the earliest home computers launched in 1977. It came with 4 KB of RAM...that's not a typo!
