(SPOT.ph) Remember the magic pencils you had in school? Sure, they didn't answer your quizzes and homework for you but it still gave off a neverending sense of amazement whenever and wherever you use them. It was after all, ahead of its time; yep, we're willing to stand by that statement. All you had to do was remove the old tip and insert it into the bottom end of the pencil. Press it firmly, and then, like magic, a fresh, pointy lead tip appears. Like the natural progression of life, using a pencil eventually had us graduate to the big leagues—the pen. You started off with your standard ballpoint pen, gel pens for fancier letter-writing, colored pens for when you're feeling adventurous (admit it, you prefer blue-black instead of the regulation blue ink), and scented glitter pens for when you write in your classmate's scrapbook.

Trends have been making a comeback recently, we're seeing a resurgence in all things Y2K, and it poses a queston that we've often thought about: should people go back to writing with pens instead of tapping away on their phones?
