Navigating the Globe and Beyond

2000
It is difficult to imagine a world without transport. Every day, people catch buses and trains, drive cars, go on cruises...it is even possible to catch a plane and be halfway around the world in half a day. Humans have even travelled out-side the Earth's atmosphere, such as to the Moon. This web site tells the fascinating account of the main developments of air, land and sea transportation in the 20th century. It shows us how the world, which seemed vast and mysterious to our ancestors, now appears to have shrunk: because thanks to these brilliant inventions, it is so easy to travel around today.
