The future of sticky notes

By | November 30, 2009, 3:00 AM PST

The Post-it note, was born within 3M in the early seventies and started its life as a cultural icon in 1980.  Now as part of the accelerating movement to connect the offline and online worlds our favorite little sticky notes are being re-imagined. In this BNET feature Sumi Das visits with Pranav Mistry of MIT’s Media Lab.

RE: The future of sticky notes
"...in the early seventies and started it?s life as..."
All-too-many people get through school without bothering to master the use of "its" and "it's." Most possessives are formed by adding "'s" to the end of a word - but not the word "it." This is because there is a contraction (for "it is") already spelled "it's." So, the possessive of "it" is "its."
Its "its" is "it's" if it's "it is," and "its" if it's not.
Clear now? 'Nuff said!
