“A Perfect Product”

It has been an enormously important product over the ages. Its qualities of strength, light weight, and softness make it the perfect material for products such as quality clothing, parachute material, medical sutures, racing bike tyres and even a wide variety of cosmetic products like moisturizer and shampoo. But silk has not always been readily available. The Chinese jealously guarded the mysteries of silk production until (so one of the legends goes) two monks came across some silkworm eggs and managed to smuggle them out of the country, risking their lives, but taking the know-how with them as far as Byzantium. The secrets of silk gradually spread through India and the Middle East, reaching Europe, where Italy was the first European country to succeed in establishing a successful silk manufacturing industry in the thirteenth century. France then borrowed the expertise of the Italian workers to create its own silk industry. It was not easy to get the secrets of silk manufacturing out of China. But, in today's business world, it's far easier to share knowledge and skills, and to find out about new products or techniques. By searching on the Internet or even jumping on a plane to the other side of the globe, it is possible to look for ways of improving products, without endangering the lives of the people who make the discovery.
