Does modern transportation has made the world a better place to live? Let's imagine how was the world before cars, planes, and trains were invented, how did people transport from a place to another? Well, actually it is pretty obvious that horses had the principal role on this. However, with that method everyone used to wait a lot of time for letters to arrive and visit family and friends. That is why I believe that modern transportation and shipping has made the world a better place to live. Firstly, it is clear that with the modern cars we can travel longer distances in a couple of minutes, which in the past meant spending hours in a horse. In addition, life has become faster with the new transportation technologies, thus we can order food, furniture, books... and receive everything in minutes or days. In addition, when in the past leaders needed to make decisions, consult their plans with other politicians, or give orders to the soldiers; they had to wait a lot of time for letters to arrive, and when the message was received, maybe it was too late, and actions had been done already. Secondly, even though detractors of modern vehicles claim that global warming is a result of using modern transportation, it has been proved that there are another reasons behind this phenomenon. For instance, the excrement of the cows is the principal cause of methane in the atmosphere, which is the principal gas that accelerates global warming. Also, engineers and scientists are working together on projects that will develop new types of electronic and bio friendly cars and trains, and in a few time the carbon dioxide produced by cars will not be a serious problem. In conclusion, modern transportation has made life easier and increased the productivity of humans.
