The pen was amazing and we loved it very much.
DakAttakk
I thought it was a dildo from the thumbnail.
JustMare
I used to love those pens! Thanks for the memories! Am not gonna say I feel old! Haha,ha!????
xMonkeyyboyy
I remember taking one of these to school and when I used it I was called the dildo pen kid
ChinaMike808
Still think it is very wrong to give children below age of 14-15 a mobile phone.
Vitrum
Fuck yeah!!! Those were the SHIT
PogoSticksAreUnderated
I am 18 and I can relate to this...
RandomImgurian
Yup, technology is cheaper and more accessible today, and we should feel happy for all the children who can enjoy those advantages.
beergolem
It's a different world with different technology. I doubt the human phenotype has changed dramatically in 15 years.
Shestolemybeer
The pen_is, mightier than the sword
MisterOp
Children shouldn't be given an iPhone at the age of 9 unless for a very important reason.
arkangelbb
Lmao at 15 I'm lucky if I don't have to pay for my phone and bill.
Upierczi
Me as an adult; I am happy to have this pen AND an iPhone
dipity90
I just got a pen like this for my planner! Best day ever!!
idonthaveagoodnameinmind
when was the last time you communicated with a 9 yr old?
Meowzzar
i never had that pen :c
heeeynow
Me either. We were too poor. They weren't that good a pen actually at least not in the 80s
Manosteel
My 7 year old has my old I phone 5. She just got one of these pens and freaked out! She loves it. And yes she presses all the colors.
HarryHobo97
But like your values, things have changed
dale5520
I mean most 9 year olds are happy when they get anything usually.
Thekingofbeans
It's happened, we're the "when I was young" generation now.
JJJCT333
Dude, that pen was the shit back in the day
JESUSsecondCousin
I thought it was a dildo for a second
daltesse
I am 39 years of age I have 2 kids and a mortgage I want that freaking pen!!!!
BlackRedRollsRoyce
Yes, technology advances.
FlightyBr0ad
Yeah, they used to only have 4 colors.
Dragonboy393
HerWords
I need to invite some people over, just so I can do this to them.
uhhMurdok
Can't upvote this harder, we are just getting old, nothing is different from previous generations. My grandfather thought TV was nuts.
PandaPlop
Thog remember time when Thog got pointy rock back in Thog day.
QueenCousland
Thog lucky. Grekla only have stick. Thog generation spoiled.
triplemax
Wow, mine only had 4 colors.
PumparumTheCrow
I had a 21 color one from Chinatown. It broke within a month, but TWENTY ONE COLORS, MAN!
Xx11Rebecca11xX
I had the 8 or 10-penned one. It was glorious.
kevinUnityClicker
Blue, red, green and black.
bazookat00th
Yeah seriously. What is this witchcraft?
gh954
Standard have four, but you get some glorious ones which have loads.
Smallbrownrabbit
Same
SirMora
Noob I got 9
BoozeHound001
Mine had one.
Dayrest
Be honest, if someone hadve offered you the latest iPhone when you were a kid, that would have made you happy.
bread1
iPhone with no service plan. Wouldn't that be funny? If I was a kid, for the price of an iphone, I rather have a gaming console lol.
InternationalManOfMysteries
I think you're right but it's more that kids today expect an iPhone. We didn't expect that or fancy pens. Just happy with whatever
dimm1
And so the current generation began to hate the next generation for unfair generalization, just as the previous generation had done to them.
KABARU
When I was 9, you could use a cell phone to club a man to death and it was 90% battery which lasted 20 minutes
ColonelCouch
The Motorola flip phones could still cause serious pain
nilmm
My mom was worried when I went on a school trip and and made me carry my dad's Motorola, that thing+charger was half my bag.
dachicken
Considering the rowdy outside stuff I did as a kid growing up small town it would've been broken in about 5 minutes.
dirtcreature
Duh. Not the point.
SmertNSpecial
Also honest, I received a multi-color pen recently, and I was pretty happy about that
anvilon
Sadly not - there were no cell phones or internet available when I was 9. Likely would have used it as a drink coaster.
doubleormuffin
What if they gave it to you preloaded with a bunch of games, so that you had access to some of the content modern 9-year-olds have?
anvilon
I wouldn't have been able to recharge it - USB devices have only been around since the mid-90s.
doubleormuffin
Let's also assume they gave you a wall adapter as well.
anvilon
The government would have confiscated both the phone and the giver. Both would have been subjected to scientific experimentation.
biggreenfan
When were you nine? Internet and cell phones have been available since the 70s--though not widely used until the 90s.
anvilon
The internet as you know it didn't exist until the mid-90s. First digital cell phones (2G) didn't roll out until early 90s. iPhones need 4G.
PaulMacGregor
The first iPhones used 3g didn't they?
anvilon
They might have. I've just been trying to point out that a lot of technology we take for granted is more recent than people think.
biggreenfan
As I know it? I was mostly just curious as to your age. No harm/offense intended. I remember when neither was in common use too. (1/2)
biggreenfan
(2/2) I remember when it was text based. I wrote my first website about 1994. Sorry to have offended you.
anvilon
I'm not offended, I simply meant "web server internet". Pre-90s it was limited and primitive. I was a working adult before the internet.
uncommonvortex
No but if I was offered a palm pilot I would have capped myself
NoeCarrier
Palm pilots for life! I had one in 2002 - 2003 when I was 13 years old. It was awesome. I had a text/anim space sim for it.
Judgejedge
And your parents had dirt and sticks and uphill walks to school both ways.
HeyOhBotchedToe
Mine also had piano backpacks... and roads were broken glass, apparently. It must've been a weird time.
Soulsaretoomainstream
"Didn't have nintendo, we just poured salt on snails!"
IdiotMcNoobtard
Back in my days, we didn't have dirt NOR sticks
madetheaccountjustforyou
Worked the coal mine 22 hours a day for just half a cent, had to sell my internal organs just to make the rent.
PrincessRachell
Internal organs? You were lucky! In my day we had to rent ours from the money we got from the coal mines where we worked 30 hours a day!
Enobwaj
No, I had dirt and sticks and uphill walks. This was a luxury. My parents worked in the mines starting at the age of five.
anvilon

Barefoot.
DTownFunkyStuff
You and your 11 brothers and sisters had to share the same pair of shoes...
KNDBS
And all had to share one big toilet, at the same time.
Krautenhain
You tried to push all at once didn't you? *sigh* those were the days...
Landwarrior525
Legend said we could write with all the colors at once......
KNDBS
I still do it.
iamhexpion
You got that pen as a kid? I bought one for myself on my 30th bday... and yeah it was awesome
rcb502
Tried. And succeeded. Boo-ya!
Enobwaj
Yep, every time I got one. Didn't matter that I knew it wouldn't work, either.
Mik23
MyHighestRatedCommentsDissappearedSince5YearsAgo
sometimes I'd unscrew it and take that part off and draw with all colors at once. Didn't work well but was fun
katti
I did that too!! Jey!!
Dearmeat
I could only ever get three out but later in high school I learned that if u took a pair of scissors and shaved down the plastic enough u
Dearmeat
Could get more out at once
ShentoSama
You gave your pen a circumcision?
Dearmeat
technically i gave my friends pen a circumcision
AnonresponsivE
Could continue disappointing ur father
Dearmeat
what do you mean?
DasJediWay
Shhhhhh
Dearmeat
I don't understand :(
