I think the modern fountain (×ÔÀ´Ë®) or ball-point pen is one of the greatest contributions ever made to ¡¡36¡¡ ¡¡happiness.
Can you imagine what it was ¡¡37¡¡ ¡¡in the past? When ¡¡38 ¡¡wanted to write a letter, you had to go and find a bird¡¯s ¡¡39¡¡ ¡¡, cut it into a point, then keep¡¡ 40¡¡ ¡¡it into a small jar of ink. You had to keep¡¡ 41¡¡ ¡¡sharpening the point too because it ¡¡42 ¡¡got blunt (¶ÛµÄ). Writing a simple thank-you letter must have been a main operation, ¡¡43¡¡ ¡¡most of the morning or afternoon. Even it, however, was ¡¡44¡¡ ¡¡than cutting words on stone with a chisel (Ôä×Ó), or ¡¡45¡¡ ¡¡them on clay ( Õ³ÍÁ) with a stick. Of course, some people¡¡ 46¡¡ ¡¡the typewriter these days, ¡¡47¡¡ ¡¡is all right if you know ¡¡48¡¡ ¡¡to type quickly. If you don¡¯t, you spend ¡¡49¡¡ ¡¡correcting mistakes and your letter ¡¡50¡¡ ¡¡a terrible mess. It¡¯s not very easy to carry a typewriter around with you ¡¡51¡¡ ¡¡, and you certainly can¡¯t put ¡¡52¡¡ ¡¡in your pocket.
¡¡53¡¡ ¡¡we¡¯ll soon all have ¡¡54¡¡ ¡¡tape recorders and give up writing altogether. We¡¯ll just send¡¡ 55¡¡ ¡¡to each other. But during the moment I think I¡¯ll keep my ballpoint pens and fountain pens.¡¡
