Pluggers are old enough to remember what real carbon copies were and the smell of mimeographs but also liable to be the object of a joke about using an eraser or white out on a monitor screen.
A big part of our society seem to forget that if it wasn’t for a lot of these Pluggers they wouldn’t have Computers and the technology that they take for granted. Who do they think Invented,Developed,Designed,and Manufactured these things,etc. I am 63 and repair and build my own desktop PC’s,plus troubleshoot and fix my friends computers. Remember where things came from and be appreciative for what you have. Oh,some of us just don’t care to get so wrapped up and dependent on all the Technology people seem to base their Life’s on. To each their own. You-all Be Safe and Have a Great Day !
I worked in a museum once in which we all got a list of school groups visiting that day. The secretary put the carbon paper in backwards and handed me the mirror reverse copy. I saw what the situation was and turned it upside down and read it out loud at a normal speed. “You’re reading it!” she exclaimed. “Yes, isn’t that why you gave it to me?” After she more or less recovered, I explained I go back to the days of hand-set type printing and we set and read the type that way before printing. Few things more fun than reversing a practical joke.

It is a holdover from when you had to use carbon paper to make copies for additional people to receive a duplicate letter.

I hope she can’t find her white-out to correct mistakes.

Pluggers can’t figure out how “Bcc” works either.
