Let's say that we have a more recent micro SD card of 1 TB. So to contain the same information in a punch card (with a byte density of 80 byte/156 cm² = 0.512 byte/cm²), we would need a card of 512,820,512,820 cm². If I'm not mistaken that would be a punch card the size of 51 km²!! This is wild :O
For the Americans, this is more than one football field and less than Texas
How many peach trees could you plant on 51km^2^
At least 2
For the entomologists, this is approximately 2.6 trillion ants
