It was those little round typewriter erasers with a little green brush on them, and, correcting 4-layer mistakes using carbon paper that I hated the most.

Later in business when someone invented the IBM self-correcting Selectric typewriters with the little round element(s), and then copy machines that life got better. And now computers, where you can cut and past, is heaven for writing.

...cut and paste... LOL!

When my mom brought home a spare IBM Selectric from her job at McDonnell-Douglas, I was in Heaven (well, sort of) when typing up term papers.
