When I think of paper, I do not consider it a type of communication technology. However paper revolutionized the way humans communicate with each other. Cai Lun is a Chinese court official who is credited for inventing paper in 105 AD. Before Lun’s invention, most people used bamboo or silk strips to write but these options were heavy and costly. Paper was a technological advancement that was very popular on the silk road and for many years to come. Paper still has a huge impact on society. Paper gave people an easy way to write down information and produce it for others. There are some negative environmental implications due to the production of the commodity. Overall, paper is important for communications.
