A Really Smart Pen

A new pen is on the market.  I know this does not seem like the most exciting and latest innovation.  Well, this one is really cool.  This pen saves up to 40 pages of text that you physically write down.  You can then upload your text to a computer and reboot the memory on the pen.



This will allow users to protect information so that they will never forget or lose handwritten documents.  It is not complicated for the user and has no buttons or keys to press.  When the cap is taken off the pen, it is activated to start storing data, and when the cap is placed back on it is turned off.  Best of all, it looks, feels and writes just like a normal pen.  Inside the pen some more complicated parts are contained. The built in processor that digitizes your handwriting does so through the use of a digital camera, an advanced image-processing unit and a communication unit.

Personally, I know this pen would come in handy for keeping my various notes organized.  I am constantly losing notes, or gathering to many that I can not keep them organized.  Many times I have tried scanning my notes to get an electronic form which is an inconvenient, lengthy process that produces poor quality digital scans.
