The invention of the car and its further
popularization has meaning a great change on how the world is shaped in the
present, this based on the way that radically modified the time used when a person
is travelling from one point to another, therefore becoming an efficient tool to save time or employ it in other
activities.
Indeed, now travel within the cities and
between them is almost inconceivable without some kind of motorized vehicle, we
all get to our works and schools thanks to this amazing invention and
practically the whole world is build it up around connections that are possible
thanks to cars, planes, ships, trains, in other words, thanks to the technology
focused on transportation, which roots are the first motors, and therefore,
cars.
However, the fact that the world is shaped by
roads has important consequences in the daily basics, and is that cars are
increasing more than the cities are, resulting in problems related to space and
traffic, and the invasion of vehicles of spaces that belongs to the people.
Eventually, cars will overload the city capacity implying it subsequent paralyzation.
As a
regular pedestrian who daily see this nuisance, the cons of the popularity of
cars are evident, the benefits can be quickly overshadowed when there is a lack
of regulation and control, because there are people behind the wheels who can
be also affected by this problem.
In conclusion, vehicles had been a huge
investment for society, but they can generate important problems when we are
not critics with the potentially effects that can create in the society. It is
not only important creating spaces for this useful tools but it is necessary
not to limit people from their spaces in order to do it so. We need to remember
that cars, as a tool, are means to be a way, not the purpose.
