We probably won’t feel anything special when we mention the word “paper". I mean, take a look around you. Paper products are everywhere: the books and magazines we read, the tissue we use every day, paper cups, packaging of cigarettes, alcohols, snacks, and so on. Paper is very ordinary. However, can you imagine what our life would be like without paper? Even though we are now reducing our use of paper to protect the environment, no technology, no matter how advanced, can replace the feeling we have towards this object.
We all know paper is not a natural product. Human beings went through a long history of exploration before it was invented. We tried writing with rocks, fur, bones, tapa, baked clay tablets, wax tablets. Afterwards, we then had papyrus, parchment, bamboo, silk, and so on. Back then, people worked hard to improve writing materials. How exactly did people record information back in paperless times? How was ancient Egyptians’ papyrus different from Cai Lun’s paper？How did this complex paper-making technology of China travel around the world, despite all the geographical difficulties? How did Bi Sheng’s movable type printing influence the transmission of information? Why would we say that the revolution of technology would not eliminate paper, but would rather make paper play a more important role? Today, we can find answers to all of these questions through our reading of ‘Paper: Paging Through History’ .
