17、es strange idea of a design feature. But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised. The slotted (有开槽的) patch, which is typically found on the front of backpacks, is called a “lash tab”, and is made to hold your spare clothing on ropes. For hikers and backpackers, that mi

18、ght mean hanging items that you often reach for, such as a water bottle, and for employees carrying a backpack to the office, it might mean hangingheadphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access. Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoor

19、s, but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles. The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a “leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack”. Since then, the tabs have been adapted using many different style

20、s and materials. If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you dont know how youll live without them, youll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack. The tab can also prove useful for

21、travellers, as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack, giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on. 31.

To provide information.Bcoupling bricks When senior leaders at toymaker Lego first learned that adults were buying large quantities of their plastic bricks and getting together to build Lego creations of their own, “they thought it was very strange,” says Smith-Meyer . “Befo

24、re the late 1990s, the company didnt think their adult fans had value,”says Smith-Meyer.“Leadership actually thought adults werehaving a negative impact on the brand.” Thanks to a handful of employees who worked to change attitudes inside the company, gone are the days when labels on Lego boxes stat

25、ed that the contents were appropriate only for children ages 7 to 12. Legos newest marketing motto is “Adults Welcome.”Today Lego is the worlds largest and most profitable toymaker. The enthusiasm and buying power of adult fans of Lego played a major role in the companys rise to the top. But insider

26、s say the road from “kids only” to “adults welcome” was a long, uphill climb. Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen always knew he wanted to market his products completely to kids. When Kristiansen started The Lego Group in 1932, he made wooden toys that were intended for children.In 1946, he began maki

27、ng plastic toys. In 1958, he and his son developed the first coupling bricks, the basic design of which hasnt changed much over the years. Theyre even used togetherwith bricks made today. As the company grew over its first six decades, few imagined that its products could attract as many adults as c

28、hildren. Then attitudes began to shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Lego posted its first-ever loss in 1998. By 2003, when it reported a $238 million loss, the company was looking seriously at bankruptcy(破产). “Those were Legos dark days,” McKee says. In the wake of the crisis, “Everyone su

29、ddenly wanted to see what designs Id been working on with adult fans,”McKee says. In August 2005, when Lego CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp attended a fan meeting, he saw for himself the sea of adult supporters. “I see a future where we will be working more closely together,” he recalls. The booming partne

30、rship would eventually produce some of the companys most popular and profitable themes, including Lego Creator and Legos Ambassador Network, and the companys first-ever official fan conference: 2021s Lego Con. “Lego used to treat their adult customers like goods; today, they treat them like partners
