Before computers my Mom was my spell check. I was not very good at grammar or spelling and practically had a dictionary sewn to my hip when writing papers. All through high school and college my Mom proof read all of my papers. She was an executive secretary and had many valuable skills. Just for the record, I did type my own papers.
Corrections were done with white-out or the white tape that had to be lined up perfectly to type over the word you wanted to change and then you went back and typed the correct word. It was so tedious and time-consuming. Sometimes my Mom would find 2 or 3 errors usually towards the middle of the page which seemed to be the hardest place to line anything up. Occasionally she would take pity on me and help with the corrections. I am so glad computers came along! No more typing over something or erasing and trying not to leave a smear or black mark. Corrections are fast, easy and the computer checks the spelling. So although my Mom has been gone for many years I have not needed to live with a dictionary sewn to my hip!
Moving from a typewriter to a computer keyboard was easy. The keys are in the same order and corrections are a breeze. Change can be easy and more efficient. Sometimes change is slow and requires a change of mindset. Holistic therapies are an example of that. They have been around for a long time. I knew about many of them in the early 1980”s. It was not until the past 10 years or less that people have come to realize how safe and effective they are. The insurance companies finally pay for some therapies as well. If you’re experiencing some type of pain do you want to continue treating it the old fashion way like the typewriter or would you like to make a change and give a computer a try? The choice is yours.
