Do you know how to use a typewriter?

I heard a commercial on the radio this morning that made me think of this thread. It was something about "Make sure little Johnny has an HP-PhotoQuality Printer to print his Planet Report for his 2nd Grade class".

When I was in 2nd grade, we happened to have a dotmatrix printer, but only because my parents owned their own business. I remember in Jr. high, an girl brought in a report that had A (grainy at best) color picture printed off a bubblejet printer and we all "oohed and ahhed" over that. Now I do have to admit, by the time I was a Sr in Highschool, color photos on your reports were semi-standard, but they were still bubblejet or inkjet pics, and definitely NOT photo quality.

What's going to be standard when my toddler graduates highschool?

Haha I remember when I was in fourth grade we had to do a report on the country of your family’s origin. My mom took me to a travel agency and they gave me all these old Italy brochures for me to cut up. It’s funny now that I think about how you really used to have to go the extra mile for something like color photos before the advent of the internet and photo quality printers.
