hi, for all of you sad enough like me to be sitting at your computer wondering who invented the elastic band well i have the answer!!! finally our lives shall be complete! William H Spencer was that amazing life saver we have all been looking up to! this is his story: one day he was sat in his basement, as you do, playing with rejected inner tubes, as you do, cutting them up into smaller bands, as you do. i guess you could say he was as sad as all of us wondering who made this marvolous invention as to actually make it! he then tried to sell these time-wasters in stationary shops and post offices as office and household beauties! who would have thought that mankind could be so stupid as to buy such an idiotic invention - although I'm so glad they did!!! they have endless uses ie flicking, chewing, catapulting and fiddling with. well done William, finally we have just what we're looking for!!!

When you pull an elastic band, you are applying a force called tension.
