Transportation History

Whether by land or by sea, we human beings are always sought to traverse

the earth and hence to move the new locations. This evolution of
transportation has brought us from simple canoes to space travel.
Therefore, there is no telling where we may go next and how we will get
there.
Around 3500 BC, humans started using their first wheeled vehicles. As a
means of transporting the small loads, wheels were attached to the carts for
easier movement. Also, almost during the same period, people developed
simple logs into the controllable riverboats with oars to direct their vehicle.
Further, in the time ahead, people went on to tame animals as a means of
transportation.

The Discovery of the Wheels

We may say that transportation history took a drastic change after the
introduction of wheels. With the invention of the wheel and axle, other
smaller devices such as wheelbarrows came into use. Further, the
means of transportation were continuously improved gradually. For
example, the use of iron horseshoes became very popular in
transportation. Also, clubbing the different modes of transportation
was become possible as in carriages. From then onwards progress of
transportation medium started gaining large momentum.

Different modes of Transportation

The various types of transportation in existence at the present time are as
given below.

● Land Transport
● Railways
● Water Transport
● Air Transport or Aviation
● Space Travel

Submarines came into existence around the period 1600s and were being
used as proper modes of public transportation. Also, carriages, steamboats,
cycles and hot air balloons became the popular modes in this regard.

The first gas engine vehicle was invented by Jean Lenoir in the year 1862.

Existing means of transport were gone through continuous improvement.

For example, steam engines lead to the invention of bullet trains. Water
transport is being considered as the slowest means of transport. Hence, it is
more usable for the transportation of bulky raw materials and similar
commodities.

The Wheels
on Strike
One day a wheel
comes to stand still,
and everything
stopped
abruptly..Wheel comes to standstill? Yes, let's find out what
made the wheel to come to standstill. it so happened there was this
CAR. The parts of the car,that is, the seat, steering , brakes, bonnet,
boot, horn and gears used to be very friendly with each other and
shared an excellent camaraderie. However they all disliked the
wheels of car.
This was because the wheels were always dirty with dust and
sand and other particles since it was always on the ground.
The seat, steering , brakes, bonnet, boot, horn and gears used
to think the wheels was making the CAR look ugly because of the
 5

dirt and dust on it. they always ended up mocking the wheels and
insulting it.
They used ridicule the wheels " Your dirty old wheels, why do you
cause us such embarrassment, wish you were like us, clean and
shining"! They used to also tell the wheels that nobody cared for
the wheels and people always used to admire them and never
bothered to look down at the wheels. The wheels were tired of
hearing and used to tell the other parts, that " do you think without
us you all would be of any value?"
But the other parts used to laugh hysterically hearing to the wheels
say this. Finally tired of the insults, the wheels decided to teach the
other parts a lesson. They decided to stop functioning. One day,
each of the wheel came to a standstill and did not move. The
CAR could not be driven as the wheels came to a standstill.
Wheels are invaluable and without them the car is of no use, as the
car would not move and serve the purpose of transporting people.
The CAR lost its worth and so even the other parts were of no use
to it. The owner of the vehicle decided to dispose them of at scarp
value.
The other parts on seeing the wheels stop functioning were
upset and regretted their folly. They then realised the worth of
the wheels and asked for forgiveness and promised never to
insult or mock the wheels. The wheels too pardoned them and
started functioning. Since then the other parts and the wheels
became very good friends!
