Why We Still Need Pens

Whilst a pen may run out of ink, it is easy to have a replacement or a new ink cartridge on standby. And, just as cheap and easy food and drink may be available ubiquitously, it still does not prevent people from wanting the very best steak and the finest wines now and again or, in some cases, all the time.

These may seem strange things to cite when arguing the case of why we still need pens, but this easy, cheap and hassle free way of generating written information is one that more and more people are yearning after, and our ability to create beautifully presented hand-written documents is something that no number of different computer fonts will ever be able to replace.

Furthermore, the act of writing by hand does more than just give us something that is well presented and unique to our own hand. The act of writing things by hand also allows us to remember things far more clearly as the relationship between memory and the sensory process of writing by hand are linked far more closely than in the case of using a computer keyboard. As such, in some cases, the Lamy pens UK companies offer will also just be about allowing us to improve our memories rather than actually storing any type of information.

Furthermore, pens are more convenient. When we need to remember a list of things, writing them down on paper or even a hand will be far easier than then having to carry a computer or tablet around with us, and in situations where technology could be damaged, a hand written list will be simpler and make far more sense.

Finally, Parker, Mont Blanc or Lamy fountain pens are not just items to be used. They are also items to display, very personal accessories that can be given as gifts and cherished for many years, as well as something that will never go out of date – which is more than can be said for the latest laptop or phone.
