The Notebook and its Adaptors
If you love diaries and journals as much as I do, then this is the perfect topic for you. Find out what makes notebooks so special and what makes their different kinds adapt to each individual's writing style.
Pens are a staple of the writer's library, but there have been many innovations in notebooks with the introduction of staples, post-its and magnetic strips.
On this article, I will be discussing these types of creations and how they have changed the writing industry.
Pens cannot write their own stories. They are not vain enough to skip on some important details like notebooks can as their pages are real life diaries that provide the writer with a sense of business and seriousness.
When a notebook is opened, you'll probably find that it has a title page or front cover. It will usually contain information about when the book was created or where its creator lives in relation to his/her workplace.
It also has a date at the start of each new year so that it always stays at its current year despite how long he has been writing in that notebook. This is extremely useful for people who have a bad memory and has a problem remembering things.
The front cover of a notebook is made up of materials that can last for a lifetime. It is usually made up of cheap paper but it can still be preserved with certain conditions. The title page is made up of more expensive and durable sheets like leather or hard covers.
The inside pages are usually made up of thin and long sheets like the ones we use to write on with pens or pencils. If you open the notebook, you will see that it was taped together by something called staples, which are magazine sized staples that can be found in any office supply store.
Pens are rarely used in notebooks. So for all those who have a fascination with pens, here's a shocker: pens can't write their own stories. If you ever get a chance to read someone's diary, it would be rare to find any reference to a pen. Pencils were invented in the late 1700s and are used up till today.
They make writing faster and are easier to handle for students because they don't use ink so as not to damage the pencil they wrote with and because it is easy to erase what you've written by just rolling the eraser on itself like we do when we erase pencil marks on our school papers.
There are lots of innovations in notebooks and they vary in terms of length, the materials they are made out of, how the pages inside were put together and even in the manner how the pages are opened.
Magnetic strips have also been added to notebooks to make them more lively, interactive and depending on what type you're using, it may serve you a different purpose as well.
One great innovation is the introduction of spiral notebooks which have a spiral binding going down its spine. This makes it more flexible because you can adjust its opening by pulling or letting out its coil so that you can easily write on both sides of a paper.
Post-its have also been added to notebooks for their strong sticking powers. They are also a great tool for making notes or jotting down quick reminders, which is an excellent way of getting things done in a timely manner and you don't have to spend hours searching for the right words.
Pens are not liked by all, hence we get so many innovations with regard to notebooks. People are always looking for ways to make their work easier and more fun.
The most popular notebooks nowadays are the size of a book and are made up of thick, durable paper. They can be used for school books, journals and even diaries. There are also some notebooks that have hard covers, which can be a little difficult to write in because you will end up losing your pen or pencil when you open it.
Another innovation is using magnetic strips on a notebook so that it is easier to hold the pages together when writing on it. You can get notebook covers made up of flat sheets of metal or plastic to hold more of your writing materials.
Nowadays, there are also notebooks that are made extra soft, making it easier for paper clips and staples to poke their way through. They can be used for just about any purpose as they are durable enough to withstand the use and tear.
You can make your own notebook by using the materials that you have and the ones you need. With a little creativity, creativity will not only enrich but it will also bring out your own individual style. You might want to leave a blank page in plain view so that it always remembers this point in time where it was written in and comes back to life when you open it again.
The Notebook and its Adaptors
In psychology there is a saying that when you store away information on a single day, it is like an icon or symbol is stored into memory. It is more likely that the person will retrieve the information if he/she can read the information that was stored in a notebook when he/she was young.
A notebook is equivalent to a diary. It holds your stories and memories from your past which are not only appealing but they are also memorable because of the interesting stories and facts presented in them.
A notebook is also a great way to make a personal statement and leave its mark in the world. It can be a place to store beautiful quotes or paintings and pictures taken by you.
It is one of the most creative inventions we have ever seen out there in the world. There are so many uses for notebooks which makes it such an interesting item that can be used for a long time.
The Original Notebooks
In 1938, a man was born named Howard M. Smith who later on became known as Howard Smith, the father of softbound bookbinding and inventor of unbound books. It is a famous magazine in the world of publishing, the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In 1947, he was so sure of his achievements that he even wrote a letter to JAMA Magazine revealing all the secrets and processes that he used to invent unbound books. A few years later on, he established a company called Howard Smith Books in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Another inventor who also started out as a Smith was Roy Ritchie who made an invention known as the press-out binding system which enabled non-specialised peoples to bind their own projects with professional looking results. This was a big breakthrough for inexpensive projects that could be put together by anyone with ease and without spending much money on the binding materials.
Conclusion
You may choose to write your own book, but you don't have to worry about the binding because nowadays it has been taken care of. You can also make a notebook like your own and even design the cover yourself or print it from the Internet.
The Notebook is an excellent invention that has come a long way since its creation. It has been used by people of all ages, sex, and races and its uses are endless to this day.
