fountain pens. As time passed, ballpoint pens became cheaper and more affordable than old-fashioned fountain pens. Ultimately, the invention of
ballpoint pens led to the development of erasable pens.
Fountain pens are still used today, but rarely. Many people do not remember that fountain pens were used before ballpoint pens were
invented. Fountain pens had a pointed nib. They had a tube which contained ink. The tubes had to be refilled each time the ink was used up. The
invention of the ballpoint pen meant that people no longer had to carry ink bottles with them.
