How to fall in love with reading regularly
The romantic notion of curling up with a good book is appealing to many, but statistics show that reading—whether factual or fictional—purely for pleasure, is in steep decline. Unsurprisingly, the main culprit is screen addiction. We are glued to all manner of devices; it has become the cultural norm. As attention spans shrink, reading starts to feel more like a chore than a pleasure. And when life is hectic, with little “me time” available, watching TV often seems like the most convenient option. Yet reading offers benefits that TV simply can’t such as; slowing cognitive decline, strengthening the brain, and expanding your vocabulary. If you wish you could start, or get back into, reading regularly; this gallery will show you how. After all, is there anything better than being so absorbed in a story that you can’t put it down?

How a pen changed the world
In an age where people are obsessed with innovation, it’s easy to overlook the quiet genius of something as ordinary as a pen. But the BIC Cristal is no ordinary object: it is a monument to functional design, a triumph of accessibility, and arguably the most revolutionary tool most people will ever use without thinking twice about. The BIC Cristal has no buttons, no circuitry, and no moving parts. It doesn’t update, crash, or require a manual. And yet, this simple, clear-bodied pen has become one of the most successful, widely distributed, and profoundly impactful products in human history. How did such a modest tool achieve such massive cultural and technological significance? What made it so perfect that it hasn’t needed to evolve in decades? And, perhaps more importantly, how did it transform the world through something as small as the tip of a pen? Click through this gallery to find out.
