    There is a new pen called the 'Fly' Pen. It's basically a really smart pen that has special paper and you can do some pretty sweet stuff.
    Does anyone know anything about this pen?
    It's 100 USD, and so I was wondering if it was worth it.

    I've seen those before in stores and stuff. They seem like it would be worth it if you're still in school, otherwise maybe not.

    Haha wow that's so cool.

    You can stuff and it turns interactive.. that's just.. cool. If you drew a calculator it would turn into a real calculator, neat huh, but the only thing is you have to use the special Fly Paper for it.

    One of my younger sisters has one. She gets it out every once in awhile and only really used it for about a week or two after she got it last Xmas.

    It seems to me like it's more of a toy than something of any practical use to be honest...

    Yes. Why draw a calculator to use when you can just pull one out of your bag...?
