Not That Anyone Actually Writes With A Pen Anymore
-
This BBC article is about an invention, unveiled in 1945, that changed the world, yet is taken for granted today: the ballpoint pen, which ended the reign of fountain pens (messy) and ink-and-quill (messier). And the point of this for our purposes is that there are countless inventions that change our lives, some of which we recognize as monumental -- cars, planes, vaccines -- and some that we don't even think about at all, making our lives better in small ways, like, well, ballpoint pens. What little inventions make your life better and easier? (BBC)
