Did you ever stop to think, maybe it isn't microprocessors that are the next step in evolution, but plastics. Our brains are supposed to have 100 billion neurons. We could make a plastic structure with 100 billion interconections (cross-linked polymer molecules) a lot sooner than a chip with 100 billion transistors. So, be nice to plastics-- they might be throwing us out tomorrow.

Well, history did not start with today's breakfast.\n\nThe components we use now for things like cans and pencil, were different in older times.  Language, however, carried to us today, the old materials used for those things.\n\nYes, long ago, cans were made of tin and pencils used lead (Romans for example). Aluminum is relatively very new.\n\nHey, the Romans used lead as wine bottles.  Some people say, that was one of the reasons the Roman empire fell.

paintballa944 has the right answer.  In 1844, Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber in 1844 that was later used for tires. \n\n\nThe tire was first invented and patented by R W Thomson.  He patented the Pneumatic Tyre in 1845. His first design used a number of thin inflated tubes inside a leather cover.\n\nso 1845 not 1844

Bubble Wrap was created by two engineers, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, in 1957. Like many innovations, it was accidental: The two were trying to create a textured plastic wallpaper with paper backing that could be easily cleaned.

I believe rubber is the actual product, natural, derived off of trees, plastic is petroleum based and/or manufactured.

I would guess it is made from rapid prototyping:- Fused-deposition modeling.  It technique is call Extrusion of melted plastic. there is more information that you can find. Just keep looking..
