Written communication has been
the center of civilization for
centuries. Most of our important
records are on paper. Although
writing has been around for a long
time, paper hasn't. Imagine spending
hours scratching a message into a
heavy clay tablet and then having to
transport it. That's exactly what
the Sumerians did around 4000 B.C.
For centuries, people tried to
discover better surfaces on which to
record their thoughts. Almost
everything imaginable was tried.
Wood, stone, ceramics, cloth, bark,
metal, silk, bamboo, and tree leaves
were all used as a writing surface
at one time or another.
The word "paper" is derived from the
word "papyrus," which was a plant
found in Egypt along the lower Nile
River. About 5,000 years ago,
Egyptians created "sheets" of
papyrus by harvesting, peeling and
slicing the plant into strips. The
strips were then layered, pounded
together and smoothed to make a
flat, uniform sheet.
No major changes in writing
materials were to come for about
3,000 years. The person credited
with inventing paper is a Chinese
man named Ts'ai Lun. This knowledge
of papermaking was used in China
before word was passed along to
Korea, Samarkand, Baghdad, and
Damascus.
But as the time passed away we can
see a wide range of Paper and Paper
Products are available in the
market, which was a dream vision
earlier. We use a lot of varieties
of Paper in our day to day life for
different purpose. From a common man
to a millionaire use the paper for
Writing, Printing, Packing, etc.
