Communication
Morse-code, used by troops to help in war, was the first form of long distance communication in WWI. Troops would read a series of dots as a code that conveyed a specific message. Shortly after that was implemented, the telegraph became the newest advancement that helped send messages at a greater distance in words to help modern man converse with those who were really far away. The telephone was then created to transmit voice messages at an instant to allow rapid back and forth communication between two people via landline. From telegraphs, one can say, fax machines evolved that could transmit messages on paper from one person to the next even at an international gap in distance. The cellphone emerged from the telephone. This invention was more portable as it had no wires or cables as it operated on battery power. It served the same purpose as the telephone and later it would be used to send text message via the Short Messaging System. Cellphones later grew into a more convenient invention as other elements were brought into it as the internet was created. Pictures and videos could now be taken via cellphones. The internet was now accessible via a smartphone which enabled people to video call others from other countries and even send emails.

First Feedback: Simphiwe Msweli Says Transportation is a means of getting from one place to another with no effort.
Second Feedback: Simphiwe Msweli Says would assume that in this day and age they have become a major tool in completing the little and large tasks in life which makes them convenient enough to becoming necessities.
Third Feedback: Alban Gamuti Says Transport allows us to get from point A to Point B this can be anything from a private jet to a skateboard.
Fourth Feedback:
Fifth Feedback: Izzy Selepe says Cars and cellphones do impact our economy in a good way as financial transactions can be performed over phones and in that may contribute to a country's economy. Computer applications that are used to regulate and look over the financial standings can be used on smartphones. Cars also impact the global economy in a food way as cars are also are a product of demand which people spend large amounts of money on.
Sixth Feedback: Izzy Selepe says In today's world communication is key. Especially if one wants to stay in contact with those who are far away. Cars can be used to drive to places of interest and cellphones can utilise the Internet to stay connected with those in places which can't be reached instantly.
Seventh Question: Mzwakhe Booi Says i estimate that i use my cell phone for almost 13 hours of the day, it is honestly the most efficient form of communication i have, except for speaking obviously.
Eighth Question: Mphiwa Jaysean Says Evolution in transportation will definitely Occur! If one looks at the world of Today! We have hover Boards! Nobody would have thought we'd have Such!
Railroad Transport
This mode of transport dates back more than 500 years ago (Wikipedia, 2016). The initial function of railroad transporting was to transport minerals such as coal back and forth for those working in the mining industry. It was only in 1820 that people were introduced to using this mode of transport as a means to go from one place to another in England. Through modernisation, this invention escalated from operating on coal to operating by electricity. In South Africa, our current commercial railroad company Metrorail adopted the use of electrical trains although it isn’t the newest technology it remains modern. The Gautrain, however, is the country’s newest railroad system which also travels underground and harnesses current railroad technology that helps with the acceleration at which the train travels. This is a great example of how the railroad transport evolved in the shortest amount of time.
Water Transport – Boats
Ever since the stone-ages, boats were a means of helping the transportation of humans and products over dams, rivers and lakes. These weren’t the big ships or boats which we are familiar with today as they were more primitive and it took the rawest materials to build these contraptions i.e rafts. A slightly more contraption that followed the raft was the canoe. It was estimated around 40 000 – 45 000years ago that boats able to carry a fair amount of humans were created to transport them to Australia ( Wikipedia, 2016). Slave ships were created as an advancement to those boats to export people from their countries overseas to be traded off to slave owners from around the 15th to 18th century. In 1681, inland canals were developed in England. Throughout all the innovations and the evolution of ships, newer materials were introduced in their manufacturing. Special metals and navigational systems were brought in place to help with the sustenance and travelling experience of the ships. In the military, these new improvements plus the addition of weapons helped many countries with their defence in war. In 1912, The Titanic, which was a luxury passenger liner which was the largest boat afloat in its time before the most devastating sinking disaster to strike the Atlantic Ocean.
Land Transportation – Cars
Pre WWII, the use of cars that were steam powered reached their peak in the 1930s. These were easier to operate and quite economical at the time. The 1950s introduced a new system in which these vehicles operated as the steam turbine vehicles were introduced to the market for quite some time. Their designs were of a more square shaped manner as it suited the fashion of the time. Electric cars became more popular around the late 19th century and early 20th century. These were seen to be more economical. The 20th century gave rise to the hybrid automobiles which operate on both electric and gasoline which is seen to be more eco-friendly.
Air Transportation – Airplanes
In the 1920s – 1930s a big step in the air transportation field was taken by the Douglas DC-3. This was the first airliner that transported people via the air and the advancement of cities and towns building airports to help accommodate this invention during WWII. After the war, airliners were now categorised in either private or commercial. The 1960s introduced airliners which were more lighter and quieter when traveling. Ever since then, liners have been growing in size to help accommodate the amount of people travelling internationally and the size of private airplanes have grown smaller and faster in size (private jets).
Communication
Morse-code, used by troops to help in war, was the first form of long distance communication in WWI. Troops would read a series of dots as a code that conveyed a specific message. Shortly after that was implemented, the telegraph became the newest advancement that helped send messages at a greater distance in words to help modern man converse with those who were really far away.
