Finding a Writing Surface.
Today, paper is readily available. But in earlier times, finding a writing surface was
not so easy. Before paper, early man used a variety of different surfaces. For
example, the ancient Egyptians drew pictures with soft rocks on the walls of caves -
but it was impossible to carry these pictures around. The Greeks used to write their
ideas in blocks of clay – but the weight of the clay made it quite hard to carry. At one
stage, the Chinese wrote on silk fabric, but silk was very expensive to produce.
