Little bit of a rambling. I'm sitting here writing notes, made a mistake so I scrubbed it out and then I realised I can erase it out because it's an erasable gel pen. Then I remembered the old pen rubbers that did diddly squat but rip your paper so everyone used liquid paper instead. Got me thinking.

What has come a long way (for the better) since your childhood?

Liquid paper tape so much better than the fluid with the brush and the liquid paper pens.

Mechanical pencils are way better now.

So many girls used it on their fingernails then coloured them in with texta.

That was a thing back home too.
