The Biro.

Your immediate thought, why on Earth am I posting about a pen when I'm interested in photography? Well again, this was a college project set to look at something that has evolved or been invented. Therefore I have chosen to look at the biro.

It was László Bíró that first invented the pen back in 1938. Though the ball point had already been invented in 1880. And it was because he was fed up of using a fountain pen that he decided to do so. He though it would be much more practical to have the ink in the pen already. the ink he chose to use was the same as that used for printing newspapers dried quickly and smudge free and therefore made a better option. The simplicity of the design makes it much more user friendly and that is why it is still a popular choice today, worldwide.
