Why don't we use ruling pens anymore?

We generally don't use ruling pens anymore because, even though before everyone drew with the rulers, the pens, exact lines, set squares.... Nowadays, we have computers, with extremely up-to-date programmes that can do the work of the tools before mentioned.

Before, we had the need to use these instruments because there wasn't anything that you could use that would do the same work as precise as them, nevertheless, now we have computers and the latest programs, why shouldn't we use the technology?

Technology should do our life easier and if technical drawing is better (more precise) and you have to do less effort, we think it's a good idea that we use computers.

Yet, there will always be people that will continue to use old traditional tools and that is the reason why you can still see them in some shops and there are sales in which you can buy them.

To make you an idea, the price of buying an old traditional wooden box with ruling pens in it is 90€, and buying a complete new computer is 500€ (and then you have to pay for the Word, Powerpoint or the programme that you use). 

So, if we look both prices, even though ruling pens need you to make a bigger effort we think that it would be a better idea to continue using them because we are in the middle of an economical crisis and many people do not have a lot of money which would be even worse if you have to buy a computer. Plus, we think it is important to continue with old traditions, as you start trying the new technologies as well.
