The Breathtaking Mediocrity of The Generic Ballpoint Pen
Pen
The advocates of the generic ballpoint pen might argue that its
widespread use is a testament to its functionality and reliability.

plastic casing that envelops this writing tool. The ink, often prone
to inexplicable dry spells and smudges, leaves much to be
desired in terms of dependability. In a world teeming with
innovative writing technologies, from fountain pens to digital
styluses, one must wonder why the ballpoint pen remains a focal
point of discussion at all.
