The original way of traveling and transporting goods was by walking and carrying them by hand. When human beings became accustomed to water, they began constructing primitive boats. What came next was the sleigh. Likewise, people also learned to make use of animal force. The discovery of the wheel contributed to the development of a succession of vehicles: carts, chariots, carriages, stagecoaches, bicycles, tramways, trains, and cars. Humans have not contented themselves with land and water routes. Today, we can fly to the sky and even conquer space.
