   Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete. Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers, dates from World War II, when a form of delay-line memory was developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube, based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored in it was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of nonvolatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in 1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world’s first commercially available general-purpose electronic computer.

  • Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete.

    Obsolete (Obsoleto significa tudo aquilo que está ultrapassado, fora de uso, antiquado, arcaico). 

    Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers...

    Tradução: Armazenamento eletrônico de dados, que é usado em computadores modernos.

    Resumindo: punched tape is still used nowadays. NÃO, NÃO É UTILIZADO!!

    O que é utilizado HOJE EM DIA (NOWADAYS) SÃO OS Electronic data storage...

    QUESTÃO: ERRADA!

  • a technology now obsolete.
