The automobile is an amazing invention of our time. We know many are excited but they are also many concerns that may affect other aspects of our lives. To start off this invention is powered by gasoline, which means that the prices may rise because of the demand when automobiles become available to the public. Although we have yet to see if this is going to be an issue, it is certainly something to consider. Another concern may lie with the roads. Roads right now as they are may pose a threat to the automobiles that people drive because of the tough terrain that they have to pass through. Many people are already seeing this concern and we hear that actual concrete roads may be put in place. One last concern is the automobile themselves. To elaborate, they are new. We do not know if they are flaws within the thin wheels or the engine itself. Benz has not told anyone about any flaws, so we are guessing that we will have to see when they are available. But despite all these concerns they should not shot down your love for this wonderful invention, these are just concerns I thought of but they do not change my opinion of the automobile, and they shouldn't change yours.

Karl Benz is a German engineer and inventor born November 25, 1844 in Germany. He was born to Josephine Vaillant, a locomotive driver and Johann George Benz. In his early life he lived really rear poverty and his mother did all she can to provide for him. He was an excellent student so he was able to study beyond grade school, and he followed his father's’ footsteps and he went into being a locomotive engineer. At 15 he passed an exam and he was accepted into Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and he graduated at 19. After college he worked on his inventions and today in 1885, he invented what we all know as the automobile. An invention that will change transportation as we know it. This is all the information we have on him but he still has a life in front of him and we can't await what he brings into the world next.

Yesterday The Eagle got word from Germany that a brilliant inventor by the name Karl Benz has just invented a three wheeled automobile sure to change the world forever. The automobile comprises of an internal combustion engine, three wheels, and a chassis from a single unit. It is powered by gasoline. This is new because predecessors used electricity and steam to power the engine. Many already call this the most influential invention of the century, and we cannot help but agree. Benz plans on selling and manufacturing about 25 other automobiles for the public in the near future. We also want to inform our readers that the automobile won’t be able to be purchased here in the United States, but we hope that we’ll get a chance to experience this masterpiece of engineering. Karl also plans to promote the automobile leading up to its release and we can't wait to see how it goes. Although Benz has created the automobile, he still has yet to put a patent in but we hear that he will soon. Keep reading because we also have a biography on Karl Benz's life that we hope you find interesting. So stay tuned for that fellow readers!
