Ever Wonder About the History of the Ballpoint Pen?

Featured Replies

No? Well read this any way. Interesting.

 

Interesting how it came about. Interesting about the day 1 demand for it.

 

The Enduring Genius of the Ballpoint Pen - WSJ

 

Interesting. I've always liked getting a good ballpoint pen as a gift. But as others have stated on BGP, we don't need writing instruments since they are not necessary to communicate any more. Sad, isn't it?

No.

I've thought about it every day my entire life. Now I know, thank you for that.

You say that, but you would be amazed at how many pens I go through a year, and how particular about what types of pens I prefer.

And I hate that I can't read the whole article as I don't have a WSJ account.

Loved the article, but was disappointed by the non-mention of the Pilot G-3, which is the best pen there is. Well, except on rainy nights.
