My introduction to “a pen” was at a video producer’s studio. He had a Wacom tablet and pen in his office area. I waited for the video to be done so I had time to kill. He, the producer, introduced me to two things: Fractal Painter and the Wacom Tablet and pen.
I am not an artist, but I enjoyed playing with the tablet. It was and remains my introduction to the concept. With the rise of touch PCs and pens, I use a pen more and more often now.Why talk about pens all of a sudden? I recently upgraded my Kindle to the Kindle Scribe.
That is the Kindle that includes a pen. I’ve used Remarkable for the last two years. Remarkable is a device designed around editing and note-taking as if it were a paper notebook. I’ve also used a Livescribe pen and the Rocketbbook system. In all cases, it is chasing the pen.
It’s better job-wise when I have a pen in hand, so the Kindle Scribe is a great starting point for testing out new things. What, however, lies on the horizon is the concept of the Smart Pen and the Smart Pad. Livescribe is the first smart pen, but the ones coming include integration with AI.
Oh, to live in interesting times. Smart pens, phones, and watches—maybe even smart people in the future!
