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.
