Sometimes it is good to take a look at the world around you and look and see everything that has been invented. I know you are probably thinking of the T.V. in you r room or your new iPod touch or the iPhone 5 but there were actually things that helped us get farther, even though they are rarely or hardly ever used today. 
     China helped make many of these things, from gunpowder to the earliest calculators, China was popping out all new sorts of inventions! China made the first piece of paper! You know, the stuff we write with (or used to write with anyway)... China invented it! All, of course, with the help of a few trees. China also invented gunpowder. They won many battles this way and helped the rest of the world get through hard times. We don't really use gunpowder anymore thanks to the help of other inventions.
     All the things around you, all the things you use, are all things that were invented in some way or another. They were all made for the first time, experimented on, or actually... accidents! So next time you mom suggests you save your money for an iPhone, think about the inventions that have lead us to the newest iPhone. Even though paper might not have been a part of the iPhone, it must have been used to plan how it would look. So just remember where all these inventions have got us... and of course... get the phone!
