Stylus
Published Wednesday 16th May, 2007 by Skrik
This lovely little thing came in the post today. It’s a pen made entirely of metal. Actually, it’s not a pen - there is no ink, and no lead - it’s a stylus; the metal is deposited on the paper, like in the antique silverpoint technique. 
I showed my son my new curiosity. The stylus wouldn’t draw on his hand or clothes, but it draws well on paper. Wanting to describe silverpoint to him, I asked: “Do you think this is new technology?”
“It’s just bad metal”, he answered.
