I don't think I could live without Post-it notes! My office flutters in the wind, some days.
In 1968 researchers at 3M created a repositionable adhesive, but they didn't have a commercial use for it. In 1974, another researcher developed the adhesive into a product called "Press & Peel," to be used as a bookmark.
In 1979 the product is test marketed in eleven western states, and in 1980 they make "Post-it Notes" available nationally.
3M has expanded their line this year with Post-it Super Sticky Notes, which will stick to virtually any horizontal or vertical surface.
Can't you see it? DH, put away your brush. DH, take the dog out. DH, did you take the garbage out. DH, cut up the downed willow on the front lawn. DH, do the dishes. DH....our anniversary is coming....

Intriguing. Depending where you are from, some call them "sticky notes", others just call them "post-its".

Before the MacOS added a sticky-note (post-it) function I used to have those things all over my computer and desk. They can be a real lifesaver.
I think it would be pretty cool to be the guy/woman who could say that they developed the post-it note. Talk about contributing something important to the world. ;-)
