Data Storage Turns 30



Long before the sleepy village of Hermanus learned what bits and bytes were, we were storing information on this handy paper medium.

The little yellow square of paper that changed lives was actually the product of an engineering mistake by 3M scientists who stumbled upon an adhesive like none other, that could stick and be repositioned on just about any surface. It's one of those things that just can't get much better than it already is, but is…

With environmental sensibilities on the rise, 3M has launched a new product line, the Post-it Greener Note, engineered with a plant-based adhesive and 100 percent recycled paper.

The humble little Post-it Note, is marking its 30th anniversary this month as popular as ever.
