All kidding aside...  Tech isn't that hard but if you don't know it, it can be daunting.  There are always more than one solution to a problem.  There are $50,000 pens that glows in the dark, that have invisible ink, that records audio, that works in Zero-G environments, etc.  There are also pencils that you can buy in bundles of 4 that cost $2.  I tend to sell the $2 pencils.
