Paper was like magic, you could write on it, fold it, and carry it around! Before paper, people used clay tablets or papyrus, which were harder to write on. When paper came along, it made writing easier and helped ideas spread faster.
Examples
- A child writes a note on paper to leave for her brother.
- A scribe copies a book onto thin sheets of paper instead of heavy clay tablets.
- A merchant folds a letter into a small envelope made from paper.
