A writing implement or writing instrument is an object used to produce writing. Most can be used for other functions, such as painting, drawing and technical drawing. One of the critical characteristics of a writing implement is the ability to produce a smooth, controllable line.

Types


Ancient

Although in Western civilization writing is usually done with some form of pencil or pen, other cultures have used other instruments. Chinese characters are traditionally written with a brush, which is perceived as lending itself to a graceful, flowing stroke.

I really hope pens and paper don't become obsolete. In this day and age writing instruments are still important to many creative people.
