Show him the ‘White-Out’… Hmnn We had an old typewriter that would type in either black or red. One time my father changed the ribbon to some new fangled ribbon where the red was replaced with white… perhaps the first ‘auto-correct’ (you just had to retype… not exactly auto….but…lol)
I also remember a small piece of treated paper (about the size of a mailing label) that you would insert into the typewriter at the point where the keys would strike, then you would type the letter you wanted removed. It would cover up the type and then you could immediately type the correct letter over the error without having to wait for the Wite-Out to dry.
"Moderately Confused is an extension of my daily thinking routine, says Jeff Stahler. "I'm used to observing the front pages of the news and commenting with a cartoon. But every day, the rest of the paper tracks the culture, and all of those stories are rich for commentary, too. This panel gives me an outlet for observing those back pages of the paper that I enjoy reading as well." Stahler's Moderately Confused was a finalist for the National Cartoonists Society's Division Award for Best Newspaper Panel in 2005.
A native of Bellefontaine, Ohio, award-winning editorial cartoonist Jeff Stahler graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design. He resides in Columbus, Ohio, with his family.

The biggest problem with Technology is “WHEN THERE IS NO POWER THERE’S NO TECHNOLOGY” and then what do we do?

I miss typewriter erasers. They were excellent for cleaning battery contacts in hearing aids.
