Most people take ballpoint pens for granted nowadays. We get disappointed when our pens run out of ink after only 6 months.
WELL, many might not realize that someone actually had to invent the ballpoint pen mechanism.
As much as I love how cool and aesthetic fountain pens are, they're not practical. They smudge, leak, and are a mess.
Thankfully I wasn't forced to use a fountain pen as my only handwritting tool my whole life.
Despite ballpoint pens originally being created to be a cheap and ergonomical fountain pen replacement, there are plenty of good looking ones.
