Editing Ticker tape (section)

==Other uses==
===Baseball===
In the early days of [[baseball]], before electronic scoreboards, manual score turners used a ticker to get the latest scores from around the league. Today, computers and electronic scoreboards have replaced the manual scoreboard and the ticker.

===Parades===

Used ticker tape was often repurposed as [[confetti]], to be thrown from the windows above [[parade]]s either cut up into scraps or thrown as whole spools, primarily in lower [[Manhattan]]; this became known as a [[ticker tape parade]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/216006.stm Glenn's second ticker tape parade] BBC News, November 17, 1998</ref> Ticker tape parades generally celebrated some significant event, such as the end of [[World War I]] and [[World War II]], or the safe return of one of the early [[astronaut]]s.

Ticker tape parades are still held in [[New York City]], specifically in the "[[Broadway (Manhattan)#Canyon of Heroes|Canyon of Heroes]]" in Manhattan, most often when local sports teams win a championship. However, actual ticker tape is not used any longer during these parades; often, pieces of paper from [[paper shredder]]s are used as a convenient source of confetti.

===Art===
Ticker tape was also incorporated into some of the weaver [[Dorothy Liebes]]' unusual art textiles.<ref name=dlp>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/dorothy-liebes-papers-9143/more|title=Dorothy Liebes Papers|work=Archives of American Art|publisher=[[Smithsonian Institution]]|access-date=31 January 2012}}</ref>
