When I was in high school, I was one of the few kids who had a computer and a needle printer. I thought it'd be cool to do my papers on the computer and print them out. My teachers would not accept them and insisted on handwritten papers. Today, many teachers seem to refuse handwritten homework and insist on printed or, increasingly, digital documents (submitted online).
I find it fascinating how the world has changed in just a bit over three decades.
