The evolution of pens has come a long way from quill pens used in ancient times. Early pens included quill pens made of feathers until the 1800s when metal nibs were developed. The modern ballpoint pen was invented in the 1940s. Since then, pen technology has advanced with the introduction of rollerball pens, felt-tip pens, pens with rubber grips, and now high-tech pens that include features like flash drives, laser pointers, and MP3 players. Pens have been improved over time to write more smoothly, be easier to use, and lower manufacturing costs to increase accessibility.

The pen
Lewis Waterman patented the first practical fountain pen in 1884 in New York. Waterman was born in 1836 in Decatur, Illinois and was a famous American inventor. The document discusses the differences between pens that use cartridges and dip pens that must be refilled with ink. It notes that before the fountain pen was invented, people wrote with dip pens. The ballpoint pen was later invented in 1938 by Ladiaslao Biro in Hungary with help from his partner Mayne, and they later moved to Argentina, with their combined surnames forming the name "birome".

A PRESENTATION ON TOP 10 INVENTIONS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD (THE SELECTION IS ON THE BASIS OF MY RANKING) HOPE YOU LIKE IT
Plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is when plastic has gathered in an area and has begun to negatively impact the natural environment and create problems for plants, wildlife, and even the human population.
In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away. Plastic waste is now so ubiquitous in the natural environment that scientists have even suggested it could serve as a geological indicator of the Anthropocene era.
Ocean pollution
Plastic pollution is a major problem affecting the world's oceans. Plastic does not biodegrade and instead accumulates in massive garbage patches in the gyres of the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. Marine life is severely impacted as animals often eat or get entangled in plastic debris. The plastic also releases toxins into the water and food chain which threatens both wildlife and humans. Reducing single-use plastic and improving recycling and policy efforts are key to addressing this growing environmental issue.
E waste
This document discusses e-waste and its management. It defines e-waste as obsolete electronic equipment like computers, TVs, and cell phones. E-waste is a growing problem due to the toxins it contains and risks of improper disposal. When e-waste is burned or dumped, its components like lead, mercury, and flame retardants can pollute the environment and harm human health. However, e-waste also contains valuable materials that can be recovered through formal recycling. Proper e-waste management and recycling can help address this issue in a more sustainable manner.

Pencils Recycled From Newspapers…Best Invention Ever?Here are the facts about wood and wood pencils:
79 million pencils could be made from a single press run of the Sunday Paper.
Recycling 1 2.5 foot stack of newspapers saves a 20 foot pine tree.
Many pencil manufacturers use wood taken from the rainforest.
Deforestation is a major cause of many negative environmental changes.
They are a cost effective alternative compared to other recycled pencil options.
They recycle newspapers, a hugely inefficient and wasteful practice.
Ecopencil is giving us a highly effective alternative to traditional wood pencils, right here and now.
Wood pencils are proven to be harmful for the environment just in how the wood to manufacture them is harvested. This is an outdated practice that there is no need for in this age. Displacing indigenous animals, soil erosion, urban sprawl, climate change…

The unassuming pen, a tool integral to human communication for centuries, has undertaken a remarkable metamorphosis through the ages. Starting as a humble quill dipped in ink and culminating in the sophisticated smart pens of today, the pen's evolution bears testament to human inventiveness and the dynamic realm of innovation. Let's embark on a chronological voyage and delve into the captivating evolution of the pen.
Personalized Pens
Pens continue to be widely used tools for writing. While their basic function remains the same, pen styles have evolved to meet different needs.

Customized pens can be ordered from manufacturers with company logos or initials added.
