Read the passage below and attempt the questions that follow:
(para. 1) Bubble wrap is a flexible transparent plastic material used for
packing fragile items. It was invented by two engineers Al Fielding and Swiss inventor MarcChavannes in Hawthorne, N. J.
in 1957. However, both of them were not trying to make a
product to be used as packaging material. In fact, they were trying
to create textured wallpaper. They started out by sealing two
shower curtains together in such a way that it would capture air
bubbles which would make the textured appearance for their
wallpaper. But this wallpaper idea didn’t sell too well
(para. 2) Not to be deterred, they then set about finding another use for
their product. The alternate use they came up with was to use it as
greenhouse insulation. While bubble wrap by itself does create
somewhat of an insulating effect, this idea didn’t become popular
either.
(para. 3) It was three years after the initial creation of Bubble Wrap that
Frederick W. Bowers, a marketer at Sealed Air, which makes
Bubble Wrap, finally came up with the perfect use for their
product. On October the 5, 1959, IBM announced their new 1401
variable word length computer. Bowers got the idea that Bubble
Wrap could be used as a good packaging material to protect the
computer while it was being shipped. He then pitched the idea to
IBM and demonstrated Bubble Wrap’s protective abilities. His demonstration went over well and IBM began purchasing Bubble
Wrap to protect their 1401 and other fragile products they sold
and shipped.
(para. 4) One of the downsides to Bubble Wrap has always been the
space it takes up during shipping and storage, for customers who
are just buying the Bubble Wrap. In order to get around this
problem, one of the dreams of the original inventors was that
they’d someday be able to create a Bubble Wrap that customers
could self-inflate, as needed.
(para. 5) While originally being used primarily for packaging for
electronics equipment, today the vast majority of Bubble Wrap
made is used for food packaging. Because bubble wrap makes a satisfying popping sound when compressed and ruptured, it is
often used as a source of amusement.
