Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think it has changed people’s lives. (i) Automobiles, (ii) Bicycles, (iii) Airplanes. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
=======================================================
My preference goes to automobiles. The invention and proliferation of the automobile during the 20th century has made the greatest impact on human modern lives in terms of transportation. Automobiles are not a luxury but rather a necessity. We most comfortably jump in our car and drive many a miles for attending office or business. Traveling this far was rare some 60 years ago. The consequences to our ways of life and to our planet are great; and, indeed, we cannot go back. But looking to the future, researchers are constantly trying to find better ways of transporting humans with more fuel efficient vehicles by altering car mass, shape and engine design.
For going to school or college, attending office or business, shopping or socializing and numerous daily activities we are dependent on automobiles. Automobiles we use in the shape of a car, scooter or motorbike depending upon our need, nature of work and affordability. While the life has become very fast and time is extremely scarce we have to cope up with the work or the business and keep pace with time with the help of our automobile.
Airplane is the fastest, but intended for specific purpose. Say moving to different country, different district or a different city where distances is very long. Airplane can not be used for everyday business. Where as bicycle is the slowest of all modes of transport and it is totally unsuitable for everyday business. However activity of cycling is a good as a physical exercise and may be used for that purpose.
In nutshell now the automobiles are available quite cheap and commoners afford it. This elevates living standard of commoners. I prefer automobiles to airplane and bicycle.
