A culture writing solely with crayons would be very different from the one we live in.  Today, we are able to use pencils, pens, crayons, pastels, paint, etc for any sort of written work.  We can also record our thoughts with computers and cell phones.  A world of Crayola would mean that there would probably be many more brands of crayons, the people would all master use of the short wax tool, and the documents would be quite colorful.  There would probably be more formats for papers and a lot more doodling going on.  This culture would be highly artistic, but it would be limited to strictly crayons, the therefore, have no other mediums for people to make art with.  Maybe different papers would be assigned different colors, and everyone would have at least one crayon on them at all time.  Everything would seem more colorful, but the people would probably get used to the brightness of it all.  Maybe new colors would become popular, and there could be one color for one specific person in a class, school, or the entire civilization.  The people would be proud of advances in other writing implements and different designs that really impress.  I love using crayons, but I am thankful for the variety of tools our culture has.
