The world inventions: The case of the ballpoint pen!
Thinking that we can use something to write with, and something to write on, was a marvellous invention for human kinds and humanity. We could write lectures, letters and posters to each other, or we could do what was ever conceivable to write with letters, figures and with symbols.
Have you thought about the ballpoint pen? You can use it everywhere on earth, and it is a great invention about writing. We should still write poems, writings and essays. And we can do it as we want in relation to the requirements that are given. And you can write something to someone, which is lovely, nice and/or which is given you information about what, why, how and when!
The invention of the ballpoint pen made the messages going in more ways than just reading books, reading materials and information, and of reading statements from the boards. Now, you can write things in your own ways, and you can make imaginations of yourself with using the pen. And much is about love and about doing things.
Already as early as during the 1600s, Galileo Galilei made a sketch about a ballpoint pen-construction. During the 1800s, there was taken patent on the first variants of the ballpoint pens. The American person John Loud took in 1888 a patent on a kind of highlighter for writing on leather. The most of these early constructions were never put into production, and they were functioned very badly. Either they leaked or the ink dried. And just one of these two things made the pen not working.
Just 50 years later, in 1938, the first usage construction of the ballpoint pen came. It was the Hungarian journalist, Laszlo Birò, who had recognized that printing ink could be used in pens. The problem was that the pen was too much viscous to be sucked into the tip of a regular pen. Together with his brother Georg Birò, who was educated within chemistry, Laszlo made the construction of a new pen tip with a ball that could move in a socket and at the same time take ink to a container and transfer it to the papir. And this was one of the examples of the new product development, and making the first ballpoint pens in the world.
During the second world war, the brothers escaped from Europe to Argentina. They really did this escape in 1940. From their travel from Europe to Argentina, they applied for patent on their ballpoint pens in France. And in Argentina, they found investors that were willing to try the idea, and they started a new company called for Eterpen Company. This was the very start of making business with pens, and the idea of writing with a pen was actual for consumption in many places.
The first pens which were made in the world in Eterpen Company had some weaknesses. But the idea was great, and many people were interested in developing this idea even further. And today, the ballpoint pens are strong, but they can not be durable through many times. So, when there was and is no ink left, you have to get a new pen, or you can fill the pen in question with new ink.
This means that any way of doing business, is depending on a good idea which you can earn money on. And every step and every breath we take, should be make with assessments and considerations in the freedom in the world, and in the restrictions of time that we all have in life!
