Transportation has changed in many ways over the years. The oldest known form of transportation is the boat. Around 60,000 years ago, boats were made by hollowing out a tree trunk, also known as a canoe. Riders had to use paddles to control the canoe across the water. However, today boats are more convenient because they have an engine that powers them.
Next came horses. Surprisingly it took 55,000 years after the invention of the boat to discover horses as a means of transportation. At first, horses were ridden without a saddle, also called riding bareback. But over time, riders used saddles to make traveling more comfortable and easier to control the horse. After that, it didn’t take long for us to figure out we could use a wagon and a horse to help carry equipment and people.

Last summer, I was planning on taking an airplane for the first time, but there were many things I didn’t know. For example, how many suitcases should I take or what can I bring in my backpack? So, I asked my mom for help, and she told me that the more luggage you bring, the more expensive the ticket is. So, she suggested bringing only the things I needed. She also told me not to take dangerous items like large batteries or sharp objects because I’ll have to go through customs. My mom also said not to lose my boarding pass or passport because I’d need them to get on the plane. Finally, she told me I needed to find the baggage claim after the airplane landed to pick up my suitcases. I’m happy my mom was able to help me know more about air traveling because it made the experience better.
