More About Zippers
Long ago, a man named Whitcomb made the first zipper. He wanted to help people close things fast. Zippers have changed a lot since then. Now, they are in many things we use.
We see zippers every day. They help us wear clothes and carry bags. Without zippers, it would be hard to keep things closed. They make our lives easier and more fun.
In the future, zippers may get even better. They might be made of new stuff. Who knows what cool zippers we will see?
