I can do better.
My third grade teacher was a lovely woman but very old-fashioned, and at the time very few people had a personal computer. When I handed in my first paper, typed up using a word-processing program, she refused to accept it.
Why? Because she was convinced "the computer wrote the paper for me." I tried to explain to her that computers as portrayed by the media (this was 1985) and computers in fact were quite different, but she was firm. So I spent the rest of the semester typing up my papers and then re-copying them by hand to hand in.
It's funny to think that twenty five years later, the computer STILL can't write my papers.
