5. Automobile
We live in a world where most people use their car or other automobiles for going everywhere, from doing errands to going to work and traveling across the country. Owning a car has become a necessity in this day and age, but it wasn’t always like that. Back in the day, owning a car was more like a luxury, and only a few people could afford it.
The first automobile was invented in 1885 by Carl Benz, and it was a one-cylinder two-stroke unit. Over time, automobiles became more affordable and now we are lucky enough to live in a world where almost everyone could afford a car.
6. Steam Engine
Without the invention of the steam engine, travel around the world would never be possible. Even more, without this remarkable invention, we wouldn’t have the basic day-to-day items that we take for granted, such as food, drinks, and clothes in every corner of the world.
This breakthrough has a huge impact on the economy and it sparked the Industrial Revolution. It also contributed to the appearance of huge factories that made our society a better place. All we have today started with the steam engine invention and it couldn’t be possible without it.
