Joining and connecting two separate products have always been a challenge; earlier people invented methods like attaching temporary pins and needles. However, they were just helpful for a limited period and were not as durable and full of strength as they were expected to be. Later on, people invented various methods like stitching and knitting to hold on to both the pieces; however, they were not very famous as they were thought to be because of the fact that it was more like a permanent attachment of both ends; later on, the introduction of things like safety pins and buckles brought improvement.
Later on, even these methods of attaching the two ends were not considered to be as helpful as they were thought to be, this is because there were issues with both these methods, safety pins were not as presentable to be placed visibly on different objects and were not as safe to use s people thought them to be. Adding the buckles was somewhat helpful, but it was more useful in the places where the adjustment was required according to the size. The same was the case with the zipping application, though it was used for the same purpose of joining two parts but was suitable in some applications.
