We never stop to think about the everyday items we use to perform some of our most important tasks, but this list of interesting pencil-inspired products shows that people have at least put some thought into sprucing up one of our oldest writing tools.
While millions of people type away at their computers, it's hard to remember that before all of this digital convenience we actually used to manually scribble information down using only our hands and a pencil.
Back in our own hands and unplugged from computer screens, interesting pencil innovations like environmentally friendly highlighters or ‘Song-Playing Scrawlers' that actually play music while you write, may be bringing the fun back to good old fashioned hand writing. It's a scary thought that this ancient form of communication might soon be obsolete!
