I learned typing on an IBM Selectric, my parents made me take a typing course before they would buy a computer. White-out or correction tape was how we fixed typos (or just didn't make them). If you were smart you wrote your words out longhand before typing them; you didn't "think" while typing.
The early computerized typewriters kinda sucked - you could do line level edits but the print quality was dot matrix or worse.
