More Than A Number

The bright white dry erase board has become a staple in office and schools everywhere.  How did this versatile surface become so popular?  The origins of the trend date back to the 1990s, when there was a dramatic rise in concern over chalk dust and the health risks it posed to people with asthma or allergies.  This led to many chalk boards being replaced by white boards; the markers used with these boards were dustless and thus considered to be safer.  However, the very first markers were rather toxic, so the claim to being a healthier alternative is somewhat debatable.  Nevertheless, improvements were made over the years, including the creation of the enamel-over-steel white board by the British company Magiboards.  The boards on the market today are less expensive than they were ten years ago and also produce less glare, improvements that almost anyone who uses this medium regularly can appreciate.
