Скачать или смотреть How Bookmarks Evolved (and Why Random Receipts Still Win)

Bookmarks are the smallest “reading technology” we all rely on, and they’ve had an unexpectedly wild evolution. In this video, we follow the bookmark’s glow-up from early book forms and leather markers to medieval “bookmark UI” inventions, Victorian-era collectibles and advertising ephemera, early plastics, and finally the digital bookmarks living in your browser today. Along the way you’ll see how changes in books changed the tools we use to navigate them, why some designs got hilariously over-engineered, and how the internet borrowed the word outright. And yes, despite centuries of innovation, we still end up using random receipts.
