compare and contrast between quill pen and ballpoint pen

                A quill pen is a writing implement made from a flight feather of a large bird such as goose, swan, crow, eagle, owl, hawk and turkey. Quills were used for writing inks before the inventions of modern pens. Ballpoint pen is a modern writing instrument. A ballpoint pen has an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispense at tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide.

            Ballpoint pen is easier to be used because it does not have to be dipped into ink in order to write. This is due to the internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispense at tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide. Therefore, all a person has to do is to get a piece of paper and get ready to write. Different thing goes to the quill pen where quill pen requires us to dip the tip of the quill to write and keep repeating the same thing each time the ink dry.  Moreover, the diameter of quill pen is small thus, it is unstable to be hold while writing. The diameter of ballpoint is bigger. Therefore, the stability is higher.

            Ballpoint pen is multifunctional due to the inventions of many types of colored ink. Hence, it is easy for us to write in colors especially for mind-mapping. This multicolor attracted many people compared with the quill pen. The ink for quill pen only exists in black. Black ink has bored many people nowadays. Nevertheless, ballpoint pen is handy because we can always carry them in a handbag or pocket wherever we go. Ballpoint pen has a cap to cover its tip to make it safer while then quill pen is hard to be carried around. This is due to the separated ink. If we want to carry the quill pen, we will also have to bring the ink along.

            In a nutshell, I hold the view that the ballpoint pen is easier and multifunctional compared with the quill pen. That is why, people nowadays choose better invention to ease their way of life. However, the creation of a new will not be available without long creation. This new innovation indicates people’s ability to create better product.
