In ancient times....

I found this in an Introductory Psychology text. For anyone who can't make out the words, the caption starts out, "In ancient times, people actually had to write or type their first, second, and sometimes third drafts on real paper."





Shouldn't there be some sort of indication that "this is hyperbole"? Even quotation marks around the word "ancient" would have helped. :p

Ancient times would have involved a rock and chisel. I'm just saying.

Exactly! The mention of TYPING a paper multiple times made the use of the word "ancient" even goofier.
