- From the dawn of personal computing,
humankind has been looking for a tool
that you can just draw with.
You know, like when you draw with a 20 cent pencil
on a one cent piece of paper,
except you want to do that with an obscenely
complicated zillion dollar computer application instead.
This dream escaped us for about 27 years,
which is not a joke.
That's the exact length of time.
But now it's a reality and it's called the pencil tool.
No really, the pencil tool used to be horrible
but now it's great.
So okay watch this.
This is what it looks like when you
draw with the pencil tool.
It's a crooked little train wreck, right?
Oh, wow, I really messed up there.
But then, when I release the mouse button,
no really I'm drawing with the mouse here,
it turns into this.
Let's see that again.
Here I am drawing and this is after.
You can do this too.
I know, on one hand, you're thinking
"really, I have to pay hundreds
"of dollars a year for a pencil?"
But see, on the other hand, this is a pencil
that knows what you meant to draw the moment you release.
It's like a smart pencil only even smarter.
