Speaking/Writing: Ballpoint/Fountain

Here is a video my friend Drew showed me. He was interested in it for the history of writing instruments, particularly the fountain pen. I also enjoyed that part, but found myself equally drawn to the way humans seem compelled to write, regardless of the genre, medium, method, language, etc.

Is this video historically accurate? Probably not. Are its viewpoints up to date? Probably not. Is it an interesting text? I think so. (It's also hilariously kitsch in parts; the scene with the man signing a contract for railroad stock seems a ridiculous parody of early Hitchcock.)

Enjoy.
