The History Of The Pen And Writing.

The pens have been used for thousands of years. 4,000 BC, ancient tribe of people used pens made from crude oil vacuum straws, grass, reeds, such as pens. Around 500 BC, people began to make pens from feathers of the wings of geese and swans, commonly known as a quill pen. These are the types of pens, often depicted in historical paintings, movies and stories.

The pen feather evolved and in 1800 became the fountain pen. The first fountain pen was invented by LE Waterman in 1883. Like most of the product inventions, that spark of a bad experience with an older product that is not working as it should. In this particular example, used the Waterman pen leaked and then was unable to finish a sale. The bad experience triggered the idea of a pen with a built in mechanism for the flow of ink.

Borrowing from the principles of capillary attraction, has designed a system that used air inlet pressure and air bubbles and de-pressurization of the ink to be disposed of at the tip of the pen. In 1884 he obtained a patent in 1885 and brought the product to market, making the feathers to his kitchen table. His company has seen explosive growth.

The first ballpoint pen was developed in 1888 and has been used to write on leather fabric. ballpoint pens did not become common until World Word 2, when he became a favorite driver because they have not held in high altitude and high pressure as a regular pen. The first ballpoint pen to replace the then-common fountain pen was introduced by Milton Reynolds in 1945. He used a tiny ball bearing that rolled heavy gel ink on paper.

Traditionally one thinks of the Greeks and Romans, who used to write on cakes of lead papyrus and parchment paper. But before the Greeks and Romans, the primitive tribes and people of Northern Europe precision fine-tuned "writing" with the use of hammers, chisels and rocks. The first written in northern Europe dates back to 4500 BC. At all times it was customary to engrave on stone or metal or other durable material. In fact, the history of human communication dates back to the dawn of humanity and symbols have been developed about 30,000 years ago. These symbols evolved into writing somewhere in the fourth millennium before Christ.

Written tests in China, the so-called Script Jiahu were found dating from the sixth millennium BC.
