I remember learning how to type in year 9. I am still touch type now with the keyboard. The typewriter and its carbon copy paper.....This is what I don't miss of the old day. I used to make so many typo mistakes that I had to throw it out and retype it again and again, I was sick of it.
I remember my work experience in year 10 with a railway company. I was sit in a big room with everyone..ladies with a type writer, and we got all these handwritten information to type into a letter. 1 week work experience there was enough for me to decide that I hate typing because I made so many typo mistakes and it took forever to type a letter. They did not mind at all as I was a kid doing work experience.

I touch type now, but I make quite a few mistakes.

I have an '07 T&C with 120K+ on it. She's a workhorse!

I drive a '25 Honda CR-V with around 125K miles on it. The only things I don't like about it are, no heated seats and no auto headlamps. I have to remember to turn them on .

We just purchased an '09 Honda CR-V for our 18-yo grandson, with 200K miles, and it's in better shape than mine, Lol! His does have the heated seats, auto headlamps, AND power moon roof (mine has no moonroof but I don't care). It's also in cherry condition and handles like you just drove it out of the show room! My intent was to buy him an old banger that I wouldn't mind too much if he put a ding or scrape on it, but turns out he is now driving the best car in the family!

You can delete it and retype again, but with carbon copy, goodness me the whole thing must be threw out, put in another new paper. That was nightmare.

I touch type, except when adding numbers to the mix. I am no good at those.

For me it's hit or miss. Certain numbers I am very good at hitting since I type them in a lot.

I'm so old I remember term papers typed on onion skin paper. I think it was call onion skin....

Same here, but it's more of a clean-up thing. I'm always putting things away in a "safe" place. The problem is that I am the one they're safest from!

Ditto on that! Absolutely on point.

I am so old.....I remember everything I need to do or want to do.
NOW, my phone will beep reminding me doing this and that......

I once used the voice recording on my phone saying to myself what to do and forgot to listen to it the next day....

Well, if all of us old people on here are honest, and I’m sure we are, we’ve all been there.
