I read the article today about the invention of the pen that is considered “Infinet”. The tip of the pen is made of special material that will last for a very long time. In my opinion. I think that this tool would be very expensive and hard to use because of it’s special material that allows it to write indefinitely. I think it’s a cool idea on paper but the realisation would be problematic.
