\(\boxed{1}\) Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation, and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

In 1941, the Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral decided to walk in the Alps with his dog. Upon returning home, he, as usual, began to clean the animal's fur from the heads of the burdock. But this time he decided to see how they look under a microscope. As it turned out, there were tiny hooks on each head, with which they clung to the animal's fur and clothes.

The engineer did not plan to invent a new system of fasteners, but seeing how easily and firmly the hooks cling to fabric and wool he still could not resist the temptation. After years of trial and error, he realised that the most suitable material for creating velcro is nylon. Velcro fasteners became very popular soon after the technology was adapted for space. Later, velcro became widely used in the production of casual clothing and shoes. So one observation made it possible to create an adaptation for comfort. In addition, nature served as inspiration.
