The Essential Ergonomics of Scissors

I slide a fresh pair of Scotch Precision Scissors out of there packaging, felt the balance and smoothness in the action and set down to slice through some paper.  I marveled at not only how far technology has come, but also in how much thought is continually put into scissor design.  Then it hit me.  I think we've all forgotten just how important scissors are to mankind.  Sure it's no cotton gin or pacemaker, but scissors are even more important to the advancement of our species.  They are the second tool most of us learn to use (behind the crayon) and are ever present in are life.  Scissors are an essential ergonomic tool.
