694 - How has transportation changed over the years?

Over the years, transportation has gone through a huge transformation. Here's a brief overview:

• Ancient times: People used to walk, ride horses or camels, or use ancient boats to travel.
• Olden days (1800s-1900s): Trains, horses, and carriages became popular for land travel. Sailboats and steamboats were used for water travel.
• 1900s-1950s: Cars, buses, and airplanes started becoming popular for long-distance travel.
• 1960s-1980s: High-speed trains, fast cars, and commercial flights became more common.
• 1990s-2000s: The internet helped create online maps, ride-hailing services (like Uber), and online booking for flights and trains.
• Present day: We have electric and self-driving cars, high-speed trains, hyperloops (like vacuum tubes for travel), drones for delivery, and even space travel becoming more accessible.

Transportation has become faster, safer, and more convenient over the years.
