Recent archaeological discoveries suggest that it already existed in Ancient China from around 100 BC. Back then, the paper was made from mulberry tree bark but the creator later included hemp and fishnets to strengthen it.
Paper
It was invented in the Tang dynasty in the ninth century by alchemists searching for an elixir of immortality.

Timekeeping devices have emerged since the ancient world, but it was not until the Middle Ages that the technology was invented that allowed for these devices to accurately keep track of time.
Mechanical Clock
German Johannes Gutenberg invented this device that started a new era of the mass
production of books.
Printing Press
This device could be found in Western Europe the latter years of the 13th century. Its ability to correct vision problems makes it a much it one of the most useful medieval inventions and a great benefit to hundreds of millions of people today.
Eyeglasses
Throughout the medieval period, new and
ingenious forms of mills were invented,
which allowed people to harness the energy from natural forces like rivers and
wind, a process that continues to the
present-day.
Water and Windmill
This replaced the earlier method of hand
spinning, in which the individual fibers
were drawn out of a mass of wool held on
a stick, or distaff, twisted together to form
a continuous strand, and then wound on a
second stick.
Spinning Wheel
The mass disruption to medieval society
caused by the plague set the progress of
science and discovery back, and the
knowledge would not reemerge until the
Renaissance.

It is not very useful yet, but the idea of using steam to make machines go will be important to the Industrial Revolution.
Steam Engine
a British carpenter and weaver, invents the spinning jenny. The machine spins more than one ball of yarn or thread at a time, making it easier and faster to make cloth
