I just had a conversation with two fifth graders about typewriters. It went something like this:
Kid: But what if you made a mistake?
Me: You had two options–type it over, or else put in correction tape.
Kid: Wouldn’t the tape stick?
Me: Well, no, it wasn’t really tape, but rather like a film thingie that you put over the paper and then you back spaced and hit the key and it would put this white stuff over the mistake and you could type over it.
Crickets chirped.
