| Ballpoint Pen |
The ball pen has had a profound impact on writing and society. It's made writing faster, easier, and more accessible to people around the world. The ball pen has also played a significant role in shaping modern communication, from signing important documents to creating works of art.
This ballpoint pen by Ridge may
be an analogue technology, but it's no less useful. Made of aluminium, the
writing instrument will help you take a break from the screen in the coolest
possible fashion.
I really like the pen's addictive bolt action for retracting its cartridge. There are many additional metal finishes to pick from — from flashy and high-tech all the way to low-key.
Environmental Impact
However, the ball pen has also had a significant
environmental impact. Millions of ball pens are discarded every year,
contributing to waste and pollution. Many ball pens are also made from
non-renewable resources, such as plastic and metal.
