“For these was something very comfortable in having plenty of stationery…”
Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
One of the oldest and most basic analogue writing experiences comes from the graphite pencil. The pencil predates fountain pens, ballpoints and rollerballs. It is miles away from the printing presses, typewriters, word processors and touch screens. So what do we have here? At first glance it is a wooden pencil with equipped with a commonplace eraser, but it is not. This writing instrument actually spans centuries of technology, as what looks like an eraser is actually a touch screen capacitance tip. It allows you to use a pencil to control or Ipad or Iphone. The pencil is a Genius 353 from Caran D’Ache. Why would you want one? Well sometimes there is a fine line between genius and madness. #pennerdconfusion #letsmakelemonade
