Paper shredder

Hey kiddo, do you know what a paper shredder is? It's a machine that can cut paper into tiny pieces like confetti. Let me explain to you how it works.

A paper shredder has a small opening at the top where you can put in sheets of paper. Once you put the paper inside, the machine will pull it in with small rollers.

Then, there are sharp blades inside the shredder that chop the paper into small pieces. These blades are powered by a motor, which helps them move and cut the paper.

The size of the pieces of paper that come out of the shredder depends on the shredding settings. Some shredders can shred paper into really tiny pieces that are hard to put back together again.

But why do people use paper shredders? Well, shredding documents is a way to keep them safe and confidential. For example, if someone wants to get rid of an old credit card statement, they can feed it through a shredder so that no one can read the account number or other sensitive information.

So, that's the basics of how a paper shredder works. It chomps paper into tiny bits to keep sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands!
