400 B.C. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeastern Africa, along the Nile River. The Nile, the world’s longest river, provided fertile soil, irrigation for crops, and reeds called papyrus for Egypt. Egyptians started producing papyrus paper (also called papyrus) as early as 3000 BC. Papyrus paper was more convenient than clay tablets (people used to write on them before papyrus paper), because they were less breakable, and not as heavy. Paper was also used for many other things, because of it convenience. Making papyrus paper was very difficult though, workers had to cut the papyrus, split it, lay it down, and burnish it, all to make just one piece. Splitting the papyrus can also be difficult, further lengthening the time of making paper. However, the Quick Splitter makes the process of making paper quicker and easier, which can result in an abundance of paper. …show more content…
For example, paper was needed for communication, records, notes, and books. Also, around 1000 BC people all over West Asia began buying papyrus from Egypt to use. All this created a never-ending demand for paper. Furthermore, workers split the papyrus by hand, which was tiring, long and hard. A solution to this problem is the Quick Splitter. The Quick Splitter splits papyrus without much time, work or effort, shortening the process of making paper. This allows the supply of paper to keep up with the continuous demand for it. Also, the Quick Splitter can be altered to split other objects that are in demand, not just papyrus, which gives it other uses as well. Clearly, the Quick Splitter splits papyrus for the workers, saving time and effort in the process of making
