Back in my elementary school years, Windows XP dominated the OS market share at my school, and Office 2003 was on every single computer. Everyone, myself included, was obsessed with using the gaudy Clip Art in books, projects, papers, and flyers.
Perhaps the most hilarious moment came when a classmate tried to print an animated Clip Art. No, not printing to PDF (that was too fancy back then), but printing through a physical printer. In response the next day, our teacher told us:
If you want to print text, you can do that. If you want to print Clip Art with your text, you can do that. But you can’t print your fancy animations, this isn’t Harry Potter paper!
To this day, that remains one of the most well-said truth-isms that anyone has ever said to me. But now with the advent of flexible screens and e-paper, we are getting steps closer to attaining Harry Potter paper.
