they're the worst format by far, I can't see why anyone would waste their time on them now

Biros 'one of those things from the good old days'? Do young people not use pens now?

The television was invented even earlier, the telephone much earlier, but like the biro, they're still very much existing, in use and of the present. Cassettes have very much died out in the mainstream, music wise, and won't be making a widespread comeback, however many hipsters jump on them (not that I'm against them doing so, I'd like to be proven wrong).

If I have to use a handwriting implement, then it's usually some sort of felt-tipped pen, but, even then, they were invented in 1901 and modernised in 1962 - mostly, I sign with a pen, but everything else gets put onto some sort of digital media .....

How sad, and impractical, felt tips are for drawing and colouring, not for any serious writing.

Television and the telephone have moved on and are almost unrecognisable from their early counterparts, but the "biro" hasn't and isn't.

My phones and computers can "write" in any script I feel appropriate, even in a copy of my own handwriting .....
