The world’s oldest word-processing and graphics system has no memory and no spell checker. It needs constant maintenance and cannot be upgraded; it could not be more analog and less compatible. And folks keep using it.
【F1】
For over four centuries, the classic wooden pencil has defied out-of-datedness—a feat that generations of laptops and palm devices cannot match.
【F2】
Even in the outcome of the great technology failure, worldwide output of basic black-lead pencils has continued to grow and now reaches an estimated 15 billion a year.
Manfred-Meller, director of the European Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association, based in Nuremberg, said, 【F3】
"We always are asked how the pencil justifies itself when there are such fashionable products like digital pens and palms."
The reasons may seem obvious enough. The world’s most-used writing implement happens to be the least expensive. It never crashes or dries out. It works in outer space, underwater and everywhere in between. Technical support consists of a sharpener. But to pencil enthusiasts, such realism misses the point. There is something so organic about the pencil that John Steinbeck, Guenter Grass and Archibald MacLeish have recited about writing longhand with an expressive instrument that intuitively prints bold strokes and light shades.
【F4】
In fact, the plain yellow No. 2 pencil has become a rallying point for an anti-technology movement by a growing number of device-weary writers, thinkers, architects and musicians.

"Leadites unite!" urges the declaration of the Lead Pencil Club, a group that has turned its collective back on a computer-crazed world that they complain has degraded the written word and replaced too many sensory experiences with virtual-reality substitutes.
"It is simple," said the club’s founder, Bill Henderson, when asked about the passion for standard lead pencils. "You do not need electricity, it is cheap and when you write in your own handwriting, it becomes a mark of who you are, unlike a computer, which reduces us all to a couple of letterforms. It travels everywhere. And it is not in a big fat hurry all the time. "
"I preferred to reach for the pencil, which surrenders its strikes more readily," Goethe wrote in his writing "Poetry and Truth." "I do not write with a pencil," the Canadian author Farley Mowat wrote in his membership letter to the Lead Pencil Club. "I chew them. I eat them."
