The Missing Ink.

Have you ever wondered "How Ink-Pens vanished from our lives?” It is five stage process:

1: Dip Dip Dip: Initially nibs of ink pens were dipped in ink-pots every time they were used for writing. They were in trend for a long time but non uniformity of flow of ink was a problem in those pens.

2: Fountain Pain: With the development of ink-pens with ink storage facility, problem of carrying ink pen got over. Also those pens were fairly uniform as far as ink flow was concerned. But spillage, refilling of ink from time to time and cracking of nibs were some major problems.

3: Polka Dots: With the invention of refil pens all above problems got resolved. But people started missing the free flow of ink. Also some people felt that refil pens leave dots which are irritating.

4: An-Gel: Gel pens are solutions of all above problems. It has got free flow like ink pen and reusability like refil pens. Only problem was cost. They dig big holes in the pocket.

5: Hi Five: Now-a-days stationary marts are flooded with cheap gel pens without even compromising on their quality. Just pay 5 bucks and whole world is at your pen tip.

So what should we expect next? A gel pen that will last for one light year.
