@penfount a pen is more like a sword in that it’s a precision instrument that needs elegance and training to be effective, but it can be very effective. A phone is more like a minigun…not as accurate but potentially far more deadly just by sheer volume of fire

@penfount To cite the late Terry Pratchett: "The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp"

Words are powerful. The faster they travel the more influence they can have. Hence there lies reason in the fountain pen and danger in the phone

@penfount pen can also be used as weapon as it has a pointy end. pen can also defeat the phone, stick the pointy end into the charge hole.
