The world inside the stationery box is so interesting

Looking at James Ward's "Space-time roaming in a stationery box", there is no such thing as a stationery in the world. What makes people lament is that it is the perfect pursuit of stationery that all kinds of stationery appear.

The stationery mentioned in this book is of course a collection of small objects used in many offices, including paper, notebooks, pencils, pens, ballpoint pens, staplers, folders, paper clips, sticky notes, glue sticks, etc. Well, while examining their stories, there are many intriguing features. For example, the pursuit of writing tools began with the record. Because of the needs of the work, all kinds of pens emerged. This requires the designer to be very proficient in the field in which he works, and some experiments failed and some succeeded. However, the pursuit of perfect stationery is the dream of a generation of designers. Not only that, it also involves the promotion and marketing of stationery. In this way, the world of stationery is more complicated and diverse. Of course, whoever wins is important, but this process also deserves our memory.

For example, many people are laptop controllers. Many years ago, there are many magazines that will launch a notepad notebook at the end of the year. It is the best-selling issue of a magazine. It is not that the content of the magazine is more colorful. Many notebooks are only directed at notebooks, although they have not been achieved. Like the author's “Moleskin notebook,” the kind of crazy love, and ultimately, hoarding all kinds of notebooks, this kind of emotion is subtle and fun, it lies in hoarding the process of the various stories. In fact, for stationery control, stationery is no longer the tool used by the office, but a symbol of brand and quality of life.

James Ward thus led us through time and space to explore the development of stationery - how are they born? How can we become familiar to us now? Through these little-known stories and vivid and interesting details, the author conveyed his insight to us: The history of the development of stationery is a history of human civilization. Don't underestimate any small stationery on your desk. Their experience may be far greater than you think. This layer of knowledge, probably for stationery control, is more interesting.

However, in this stationery world, the wisdom of the East is rarely possible. It may be related to farming culture, and it is not too far away from industrial thinking. Although there are hands-on workshops in the village, there seems to be not much work done for such stationery designs. When we read the history of the stationery, we should also note that the stationery design attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. The patent protects the rights of the inventors to a certain extent (there will also be instances of imitating plagiarism. ) This only prompted the formation and improvement of industrial design.

Now that we have more computers and mobile phones, this does not mean that stationery is useless. They still exist on our desks in their own way. Compared to modern electronic writing tools, traditional stationery gives us more imagery and realism. At one time, I submitted a document to the person. The other person must print it out to confirm that it is a document. I cannot judge whether he is a favorite of traditional stationery or something else. However, this gave me a deep impression.

Just like talking about paper books will disappear, for a period of time experts believe that stationery will disappear in daily life. "This process is a bit slow." The world in the stationery box contains the wisdom of human beings. It will only gradually adjust, but it will not change its original intention. James Ward as a heavy fetish, his excavation of the history of stationery is not in the memory of a beautiful era, more is to spread the things and the spiritual world of stationery is how much fun.
