In 1769, the first automobile, a steam-powered carriage that would carry up to four people at two miles per hour, was created. Years pass as gasoline engines, wheels, and a steering device were added to the automobile, which began to make it useful but expensive (“The Invention of Automobiles”).

His discovery of the assembly line turned the
affected the world. This paper will give opposing views on the background and analyze the effects it had on transportation and the environment. The invention of the internal combustion engine sprouted from the work of several engineers and inventors across Europe and into America. First, in 1859, Jean-Joseph Etienne Lenoir developed the first practical internal combustion engine which after many modifications and changes, led to the modern engine that plays a crucial role in today’s society. Prior to
While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because of child labor, it was actually a positive thing for society.

The automobile is one of the most significant inventions, that has revolutionized the world of transportation. With this invention, humans have been able to transport almost anything, travel great fathoms, and break the sound barrier (the Thrust SSC broke it in 1997). Because of the invention of the automobile, social life and working classes increased making for more distant entertainment destinations and job opportunities. This seemingly timeless invention greatly enhanced culture by taking personal
practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and
do not realize is how much cars have affected our lives. These amazing inventions have inspired people around the world to step up and try to make them impeccable.
