    A punchcard is two dimensional. Actually you can have multiple dimensions on a punch card, the positions of the card can store different data and you can determine what that is by the position of holes on another part of the card.

    Whereas a paper tape, or a magnetic tape is serial and has only one dimension (you can divide the tape into different bands though).
