REFLECTION
This story has been in circulation for so long that it is becoming "out of date" with the widespread use of word processors, computers, email, and the Internet. It dates back to the era of typewriters that used physical "keys" for each letter of the alphabet that struck the paper through an inked ribbon to create the image of each letter on the paper to make up a "typewritten" document. But the point of its message is still true today.
