Keep It Rolling
This is a roll of toilet paper that hangs off the wall of any restroom. It is used to wipe away any bodily waste, most commonly urine and/or fecal matter. The toilet paper is meant for everyone, everyone needs it because everyone must release bodily waste. It's a part of human nature, the same as breathing. Everything we eat, and everything that we drink must get filtered for its nutrients; and once we receive those nutrients the useless parts exit our body. The toilet paper is meant to be used in a private setting, any restroom anywhere that usually is more of a developed community will contain toilet paper. Every establishment has a restroom which must have toilet paper, whether it is for employees only or public, there is no building in a developed community that will not have a restroom. There for every establishment contains toilet paper. There are many places in the world that may not have this technology, there for making it less developed. They must find other means. But the toilet paper is universal, everyone or the majority have used and owns toilet paper. It is made of paper but is more tissue like and softer than usual paper. It's made softer so that it wont irritate or cause discomfort to the skin.
Toilet paper was invented to make wiping one self much more comfortable and convenient. More convenient because it's on a roll, and as you roll it you get a perfect length and use it. It has changed from original use, people have used toilet paper as a form of vandalism. A common form of vandalism is using various toilet paper rolls and throwing them over a tree or a house, causing an entanglement of paper; it could prove to be very difficult to clean up for the victim. The roll that it is wrapped in also has been used to make various things like kaleidoscopes, a maraca, or a pretend telescope. It does not change the original intention of the toilet paper, instead it gives it more use. The paper will go to waste however the roll it self will stay behind and be used to make whatever the imagination can.
The idea is to make a soft tissue to clean our bodily waste. The problem that probably brought on the invention of a soft tissue toilet paper is that in the past people might have had something more rough and uncomfortable. Someone came along and decided that there could be better paper. It is a very brilliant idea. The thought of having maybe leaves or some sort of rough paper as the only form to clean bodily waste seems like an under developed society. If man did not find ways to find this current form of toilet paper, how would this society expand to what it currently is now. Having a soft tissue as toilet paper speaks a lot of how the society is as in a developmental point of view. There are primitive societies of people the world that don't have the resources to make such things. Indigenous people who still live in jungles of South America for example need to find whatever they have at their disposal. Because they don't have that resource to make toilet paper, their society is under developed. And not because they don't have toilet paper, but because they can not make it. If a society can't make a soft tissue paper, then they don't have other resources to make any other technologies that a more developed society can easily make.
