Invention Of PAPER | The Dr. Binocs Show | Best Learning Video for Kids | Fun Preschool Learning

This one here and here And here, And It' s done, IT'S DONE. I have invented the time machine, But do you know, one of mankind's greatest inventions is probably lying around you right now. That’s right, my friend, PAPER. This little thing is so abundant that it sometimes feels like a natural product, But it isn’t quite so. Ooooh, oooh, Oh, no, There it goes. Let's trace this paper back to it's roots. Zoom in. In ancient times, that is, Show more

before the paper was invented, people used to carry information not only in their brains, But on them too. Writing was usually done on bones, bam boo tablets or animal skin, Which made accessing these writings er Show more

rmessy and tedious. There was, however, one Chinese man in the Han Dynasty in 105 AD who revolutionized the way people wrote and read forever. The legend says that a man named Cai Lun once saw a wasp knitting it's nest. It was then that an idea struck him. He took the bamboo fibers, added them to water and pounded them with a wooden tool. After the fibers were thoroughly interwoven, he poured the whole mixture on a flat woven cloth, Letting the water drain out. He let the wet mixture dry up in the sunlight And Voila, After a few hours, the world's first paper was born. Cai Lun presented his paper making process to the Chinese Emperor And received praise for his ability. From that time, paper has been in use everywhere And is universally called the paper of Mar quis Tshai. It was easy to make, the writers were happy and, of course, it was light weight. Do you know, although the Chinese kept the secret of paper making discreet for a long time, The secret eventually started spreading after the defeat of the Chinese T'ang army in 751 AD. By the end of the 12 th Century, a major part of the world was using Cai Lun's method of manufacturing paper Show more

the popularity of this spectacular new invention grew, so did the demand, A demand that the manual method of paper manufacturing couldn’t certainly meet. This eventually gave way to water-powered paper mills, the first evidence of which dates back to the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon in 1282. The most common fiber source, the manufacturing process used, was from the rag picker, Which included hemp, linen and cotton. Use of this fiber source was to continue for another 6 centuries before another revolution. Although this paper was cheaper than the traditional writing material such as animal skin and bones, The cost was still high and production was low, Keeping it out of the reach of a common man. But this was only until two men from different continents named Friedrich Gottlob Keller and Charles Fenerty tried wood fibre as a source material. In light of this new discovery, the mills started replacing Show more

this new discovery to wood fiber And a new Era of paper making began in mid 1844.. And by the end of the 19th Century, all the paper manufacturers in the West were converting wood to paper. And, my friends, what is paper without pen and pencils? Awww, It would be the Show more

same as me without you. So with the invention of fountain, pen and pencils, the paper industry sky rocketed. Books were written and read, Paper money was printed. Even the gifts were wrapped in paper. Sorry, Show more

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I said sorryyyy, Don't worry, we are safe now. He was just a paper tiger. So what's more? Done, done, done. Oh Yeah, TRIVIA TIME know? For every ton of paper that gets recycled, we save three cubic yards of landfill space, 7000 gallons of water And 20 trees. It also produces 73% less air pollution than making paper from new materials. And what's more, The amount of energy saved from recycling can power an average home for 6 months. Global Toilet paper demand uses Show more

nearly 30,000 tress everyday. That is 10 Million trees a year. Almost half of global wood harvest become s paper. Think about just how many trees we could save if we all went paperless.
