School Backpacks: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. In the early parts of the 20th century, kids carried their books bound up in leather belts, generally called book straps. The straps turned a stack of books into a single mass that could be swung over the shoulder with relative security. This was particularly useful in those days. Kids had to walk an average of 10 miles to school in up to 5 feet of snow. Uphill, both ways. You know, back in the day.
Fact #2. A backpack is a simple thing. It's got zippers, pockets, a main compartment, and straps. Each one is like a canvas for manufacturers to try to capture a potential aspect of personality. They want something that will resonate with a buyer either for aesthetic or practical reasons.
Fact #3. Backpacks are often designed around carrying books and school supplies. As such, the first consideration should be the size of the main compartment. Sometimes that compartment will be subdivided for organizational purposes, or to hold an electronic device like a laptop or tablet. After that, anything is possible.
Fact #4. More attention is being paid to the negative effects a heavy backpack can have on a kid. They have to haul it back and forth to school every day. This is why so many bags for kids and adults nowadays have front straps that go across the chest or the waist.
Fact #5. In recent years, more classrooms have converted to digital technology. As that tech gets smaller and more interconnected, backpacks have begun to shrink. In time, this era will come to an end, as well. These kids will be the ones out on the porch with mason jars full of freshly squeezed lemonade, telling stories of the good old days.
