In the 1700s, many ideas and things we use today did not exist in the United States. There was no gas or electric cars like there is today. They used to have Wagons and Horse pulled objects with wheels to get around town.

On December 17th, 1903 the first piece of evidence that the airplane was in the worlds future was made by the Wright Brothers. These two brothers created the first flying object to carry one person into the air. This would be heavily improved with airplanes that can carry multiple people and fight in World War I and II.

This would be the object of use for transportation up until 1886! 1886 was the first time a gas powered car was introduced to the United States Of America. The making of the car changed a lot through the many decades.

In the 2000's, electric car's became much more popular, especially with Tesla, which was a boost factor for electric cars out today. In 2023, there are only around 2 percent of cars electric in the world, with roughly eight percent of cars in the U.S. electric.

This is predicted to rocket in the U.S. in the next decade. People estimate almost 50 percent of cars in the U.S. will be electric by 2030!

In 1914, short commercial flights started that carried people to their destination. Toward the 1950's longer distance commercial flight's became more used in the world. Throughout the next few decades, the plane would become more luxurious and carry hundreds of people, that would travel thousands of miles.

Today many parts of the plane has been upgraded. Some even that fly themselves! This, which is all because of two young brothers wanted to have some fun, and make something. In 2023, roughly 4.5 billion people in the world have flown to where they want to go in a plane.

In the 1500's, wagon ways were the equivalent to Railroads today. There was wheeled wagons that were pulled on stone wagon ways. This would stay the same for around 300 years up until trains were invented.

In 1804, the first steam powered train was released. Towards the 1900's, railroads were almost placed all around the United States during the Gilded Age. These trains were mostly used to transport goods across the country. Eventually, around 1925 these steam powered trains would begin to transport people around from place to place.

Soon after World War I and II, Subways were very popular in the city. This would make it much easier to get around the city, because there is not traffic when you are underground in a train. Today, most of the trains in the world are electric like cars are becoming more electric as the world evolves.
