January 25, 2013: Aglets

What is the little plastic thing on the end of my shoe lace? Well that plastic thing is called an aglet. Some people might think that they are a bad thing but some might also say they are one of the many great things that were invented. I am not sure if I like them or if I do not like them, they have their pros and cons. I think they were a bad invintion because if you think bake to when you were a child and you would always have on a pair of shoes that had laces on them but at some point in time they would start to brake off and it would take you or your mom or dad a long time to try and get the lace back though the hole. After so long they would just give up and buy a new pair of shoe laces. On the other hand they are a good invintion because they hold the ends of your laces together so you do not have to take a long time to lace your shoe. I feel as though they componys that make aglets have improved in the way they make aglets because they are stronger now then they were in the past.
