==================
It is obvious that air flight is a major advance in the 20th century. People believe that it is the suitable way of transport in long distance. The question is whether airplane is the most significant invention in the modern society.
Some people believe that motorized flight has extremely expanded the scope of humankind’s activities because it makes travelling between continents possible for everyone. In the past, it is the wealthy who can afford to travel from Asia to America in ships that take several months. By contrast, it is not a dream for the average people to schedule such kind of traveling. Moreover, flights have promoted the cultural communication between countries. For example, in Beijing, it is easy to buy books written by foreign renowned authors and purchase iPHONE 4s simultaneously.
However, there are other inventions that have tremendously influenced our lives such as internet and automobiles. With laptops and internet, the way of learning has been altered greatly by the introduction of computers. People can leave the traditional way of learning and get knowledge from online schools since students can set the learning pace according to their own speed at home. Besides, people benefit a lot from the invention of automobiles. Families can drive the car to visit their friends and relatives who live far away; individuals can attend outdoor activities frequently. With the automobile transport, people who live in the north of China can eat fruits cultivated in the south of China. Supermarkets provide far more kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. So the living standards are increasing for everyone.
In summary, it is true that air flight dramatically changes our lives including modes of transport and other aspects of our lives. But I can not imagine what our lives would be without other inventions which definitely have fundamental effect on our lives, too. |
