Everyone wears them. They come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. Backpacks are one of the most utopian designs in society because they help humans everyday. A backpack is a simple bag with two straps attached to one side which allows for someone to wear the backpack on their back, that way it frees the user's body. Usually backpacks are the size of an average person's back. If it were too long, it would most likely bump into the back of your legs when walking, and if it is too small, then it wouldn't be practical to carry a lot of items.

Backpacks are ideal because since the beginning of time, people are always carrying around things from various places or to other people. Often, hunters would need a carrying device when bringing game home. Bags were also made out of straws and people who farmed lands would use them on their backs so that harvesting the land would be easier. The different uses of a backpack date back a long time and helped the society for separate community roles.

In today's world, a backpack is used by everyone. Toddlers who can start walking can be seen with backpacks to hold their snacks and toys. Students in grade school through college use backpacks for textbooks, school papers, laptops, their lunches, or anything else they need for school. My mother brings a backpack to work because it fits her purse, lunch, and extra socks. Athletes often use backpacks for their lighter sports equipment. Even if someone doesn't fit any of these categories, they still can use a backpack to store and carry around items.

Backpacks are used worldwide and are one of the best tools for throughout one's life. We don't think about how much we use them and how many we have while growing up, but backpacks are an essential item.
