When we read books, magazines, and newspapers, we rarely stop and think about the paper used to make it. Without this invention our lives would be very different.
Paper is one of the most important inventions of all time. The word paper comes from the word papyrus - a grass like plant. The Egyptians first used papyrus around the year 3000 B.C. to make a kind of paper. In A.D. 105, a Chinese man named Tsai-Lun created a new type of paper using pieces of old cloth. For centuries, people all over the world used this Chinese method to make paper. In 1838, Charles Fenerty, a Canadian man, invented a new method of paper making using wood. Today, most of the paper we use is made from wood.
