Sliced bread, remote controls, sat navs… there have been some really useful inventions created in recent history. But did you ever count stationery among creations like these?
Well, you probably ought to. According to the infographic below, 57 biros are sold around the world every single second, and we can’t even begin to imagine how much we’d forget if we didn’t have sticky notes for jotting down our to-do lists!
Educational supplier GLS knows how cool stationery can be, and the research they’ve done to put this infographic together just proves it.
From pens that were created as a result of inventors escaping from war-torn countries, to gel pens that were concocted after countless trials in Japanese laboratories, people have gone to a surprising amount of effort to bring us everyday bits and bobs that we simply couldn’t be without today. Take a look for yourself!
