Why will pen and paper never die out?

For the same reason that masturbating will never die out. When there is no better substitute (i.e., women, internet) it will always be a convenient backup.

Besides the fact that you will be sober tomorrow, personally I prefer paper and a writing implement simply because if the power goes out you still have your information in a legible format.

lurve to both of you

Honestly, I teach a class that deals only with working with a computer (from turning it on, to Photoshop, to web design) and I hand write all my lectures. Baffles my mind too.

Pen and paper are still functional without external power.

@Mtl_zack Hmm I suppose you’ll give lots of lurve because your drunk

-Well maybe because society needs it to survive…Idk

@Tink1113 Youre correct on bot accou ts

@Mtl_zack – Whoa how much did you drink?

Because people like me enjoy getting letters. Yep…I still do snail mail. I send letters, too!

Drink water! I don’t want you suffering with a major hangover in the morning. :)

not that much- relatively. its been a while and the group i was with was really fun so its ok, but i had a pitcher + 3 pints + a shot of goldshlagger. i can usually handle more except forthose circumstances above

@cak http://www.fluther.com/disc/47864/what-is-the-most-stupidest-thing-you-have-ever-asked/#quip652001 see that

@Mtl_zack – I just read that! I’m glad you don’t get hangovers..they suck, royally!

Damn

I only got a hangove once- in south africa and I threw up in the food court in the mall that is surrounding nelson mendela square. yes, i have desecrated a great monument

and that was after drinking the cheapest vodka in the bottle store

and also, i’m wearing my jellyshirt now, and all day today. i’ very proud

Holy cow. If I drank that much, I don’t think I could type! Half a beer and I’m likely to dance on a table. I’m a major lightweight, when it comes to drinking.

pshhhh lightweight lol last week i left aclub (too expensive), went to peel pub for 1$ shots night and had 10 shots, coldve had 20.

oh lord…yep, I’d be under the table!

dont feel bad. i know many people who would be in the same situation. some people arent good for alcohol and others are. you are the former, dont be ashamed :D

omfg what tomfoolery will i do next. sorry, i just wanted to say tomfoolery

It’s not often that tomfoolery gets worked into a conversation.

ya that’s true, but i theres no possible way to make it subtle b/c someone will be like wtf????

For me, they will never die out because they’re a lot more personal when compared to computers. Handwriting is very individualistic – and there’s just something great about opening a letter from someone you know.

I wish I was drunk. Lucky. :P

Well, I’m high tonight.

Without paper there would be no joints.

thanks for sharing :)

I love pens and paper. I could never give them up! Something about the feel of my favorite pens on a nice heavy weight paper is just so… satisfactory.

PPA (personal pencil assistant)

No batteries, pencils write in the rain, they write upside down (no need for space-age pen technology), they write under water (but the paper gets messy).

I’m with Augustian, I get orgasmic in stationary stores . . . it’s the feel and smell of a clean piece of heavy paper and a very fine tip pen that will do me in every time . . .

@Kayak8 – I get orgasmic in stationary stores – me too (assuming that stationery is what you mean.)
