Everyone knows what the post- it notes are and almost everyone use them in their normal life,but these amazing invention was not a planned product. Unlike other inventions no one got the idea and then stayed up many night trying to make it happen, this was a total mistake.
HISTORY:
In 1970 a scientist named Spencer Silver was working in the 3M research laboratories.He was working really hard trying to find a super stong adhesive, but instead he developed an even weaker adhesive than what 3M already had, but he did not threw it away.4 years passed until Arthur Fry came to the rescue!!!
Arthur was singing in the church's choir and he used a paper to remind him his place in the anthom, but the reminder kept falling out of the book. He remembered Silver's adhesive,and he applied it to the paper and it was a total success because the reminder stayed in place and he could take it out without damaging the pages or the reminder.In 1980 3M began selling the post it notes.
Even though now you can buy the post it notes of many colors,sizes and shapes the original ones were a small square in canary yellow color.
