I used punched cards at university (first year only).
For my first professional work we wrote on coding sheets and then about a week later we received punched paper tapes with the result of our scrawl. After loading them into the mini computer, the paper tapes went into the fire safe for backup. How we cheered when our screens with keyboards arrived ... and a 2nd cheer some considerable time later when we could use cursor keys to move around in a full screen editor!
