The Use of Paper

 Paper has many different uses. It is used all around the world for lots of different things. These ideas came about after people wanted to expand on the idea of making paper just to write on. As the years went on different technology and materials were used to create different types of paper but with a little twist. These things include things like tissue/toilet paper, paper mache, sticky notes and cardboard.

When printing was discovered, that is when newspapers were  made for peoples entertainment  and also things like test papers  were used in school.

These ideas spread all over the world and soon paper was hugely common so there was no shortage. Nowadays, paper is used every day of the week and we just take it for granted that it's there. It is used everyday in schools and even at home when people write notes or reminder sticky notes. It is used in offices too.

Once the usual rectangular sheet of paper was used people started to print lines on these sheets. This meant that you could keep the writing on the page straight. After this idea was brought in someone decided to expand on this and they made squared paper. This is used in schools all over the world now, mainly for the subject of Mathematics.
