With the end of the war, the economy has suffered greatly. The people were hurting, and they needed a way of bouncing the country back up. Recent advancements in technology enabled them to do just that, with the help of new inventions such as: the automobile and the airplane.
The automobile has revolutionized our way of traveling. Workers are no longer forced to live close to their workplace. Traveling to visit friends and family has become easier with the automobile. Not only has the automobile helped to make life much easier for the average American, but it is also playing a major role in boosting our economy back up. With the growing popularity of the automobile, more factories are being built; creating more jobs. The use of automobiles also created the need for a nation-wide road construction. Since the dirt roads made driving difficult, new roads that made driving easier needed to be built; creating even more jobs and strengthening our economy even further.
The automobile was not the only new way of transportation. The airplane is another invention growing in popularity. At first, the airplane was used to entertain audiences at carnivals and fairs. Now, they are used to transport mail, freights, and even people! Mail, which would usually take a few weeks to deliver, now takes only a few days! Some companies are even offering to fly people! Only the wealthy were able to afford to ride an airplane, but due to the growing popularity, the prices are decreasing. It is difficult to imagine what else may be in store for us, but it is clear to see that these amazing new inventions ensure a promising future.
