12. My first job was as a clerk hammering away everyday on a manual

typewriter and finally we went high tech and upgraded to the Smith-Corona itty bitty electric typewriter. We knew we had made a huge tech leap when the office went to the IBM Selectric with 100 character memory. My high school teacher told us that typing would be the most valuable skill we could learn because we could always use it to get a job.
