A light pen is a light-sensitive computer input pointing device shaped like a wand. It is connected to a visual display unit or CRT monitor and allows the user to modify data and text or make menu selections on the screen. Light pens became popular during the 1980s.
I prefer a pen that is more economical, yet still writes well. This puts us in the camp of disposable pens. Among disposable pens, there are three main kinds of ink types to choose from: dry ink, gel, and roller ball. Dry ink pens easily skip. Ballpoint pens are dry ink. The best example of the dry ink pen is Bic. The purpose of a dry ink pen is not to provide a good writing experience, but rather to be cheap. Because they use less ink, they last longer. But because they use less ink, they also donât write as smoothly and tend to skip. Gel pens write more smoothly.
