Velcro, the "zipperless zipper"  exist on a variety of products for children's shoes to laptop bags to blood pressure gauges to airplane flotation devices.

In 1948, a Swiss engineer and a amateur mountaineer George the Mestral went hiking in the woods with his dog. Upon arriving   back at his home he took one of the burrs that clung to his clothes and he wondered if such an idea could be useful in commercial application.

He does led finding burrs stuck to his dog's fur.

What did a group of teenagers purposely try to do to montag?
atroni [7]
Oh, I love Fahrenheit 451! I always thought that having the last name Montag was so weird :) Anyway, so after Montag begins to lose faith in the utopian society that legalized complete book burning, he begins wandering the street at nighttime so that he can think about what he wants to do. While wandering, a car full of teenagers comes along. And what do they try to do? Why, they try to run him over. By including this in the novel, Bradbury shows just how amoral and corrupt society had gotten. Clarisse talks about this corruption earlier in the novel, when she speaks about how children try to run pedestrians over, simply for the fun of it. Corruption is at the very core of Bradbury's society, and affects both children and adults.    <span />
