for today's blog post, I would like to talk about the comparison of the old writing material and the writing material today. In the chapter 5 of the book, it talks about the old writing material people to writing words on that which is clay. Clay is a hard and dry material. it sounds like it's not so easy to write on. But according to the wisdom of the old people. They can make the clay in different shapes that they write things on. Basically, there are a few processes to work on the clay before people write things on it. The clay at first is pretty wet, people have to shape it as a flat things then they have to let it dry out a little bit and finally they can write things on it. It is pretty complicated process and takes times. Like every time when people want to write somethings down, they have to take an hours to work on the clay then they can write things down. Also ,the clay has just two sides on it, which means people really have limitation on words writing. Even it takes times and complicated, this skill really helps people to record their culture, languages or other stuff down and pasted to their next generations.
As our society develop so fast, now we never have to worry about the paper supply in our daily life. The papers are cheap and people can buy them anywhere. Also, when you just walk on the street, you will see a lot of different style papers with advertisements, they have big, small, also in any shapes. Also, as the development of the technologies, people don't even have to worry about the real paper anymore since all the record are now saving in computer rater than areal paper.
