Question

then and now
click, click, click. kierans fingers flew across the computer keyboard.
i remember that sound, said grandma.
i thought computers didnt exist when you were little, said kieran.
thats why i wrote on one of these contraptions, said grandma, placing a typewriter on the table.
wow, said kieran, that looks kind of like my keyboard! did you need horses to power it?
very funny, said grandma. no, this typewriter plugged into the wall just like your computer.
kieran went back to writing, and whenever he made a mistake, he quickly corrected it. this made kieran wonder aloud, what happened if you made a mistake on your typewriter?
i used white correction tape that covered the mistake, and then i typed over it, explained grandma. also, i wrote my first drafts by hand on paper to avoid making lots of mistakes while typing.
sometimes i like to write on paper first, too, said kieran.
