The World of Technology

How would we live without the evolution of transportation?

The way in which people travel changes according to the area where it is done.

For example: In the desert people travelled by camel but in Europe, it wouldn’t be very

practical so travelling by horse is more common..

Then, man applied the wheel to means of transport by making the first cart using the

horse to pull it.

In 1806, Nikolaus August Otto invented the petrol conducted engine and it was used in

1886 by Karl Benz, to create the Benz patent motorwagen, the first car in history. It has

3 wheels and it’s maximum speed was 13 Km/h
