9 World would be a better place without automobile

Shares

‘Some say that the world would be a better place now if the automobile had never been invented.’ Decide if you agree of disagree with this statement and give specific reasons for your decisions.

There has been a rapid development in automobile technology. Every year we have better cars, super fast trains and aeroplanes. This has greatly impacted the life of man and his mobility. Automobile technology has made the world a smaller place and brought the people of different countries together. I disagree with the statement.

People are able to travel long distances in a short time. This has led to expansion of business and trade within a country and internationally. People readily move out to other places in search of better job opportunities. All trade and commerce activities are dependent on automobile technology.

Industrialization would be impossible. Industries are dependent on transportation of goods such as raw materials and finished products. Local and international markets wouldn’t be flush with goods if quick transportation was not possible. International trade and business has brought nations together and improved relations.

Perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, milk products, meat and so on must reach the markets in time. Such products are also exported and imported by countries. Agricultural products have to be transported to local and national markets.

During natural calamities like earthquakes, floods and cyclones speedy emergency services have to be provided. The armed forces depend on automobile for timely supply of arms, soldiers, medicines, food etc. Missiles, submarines, aeroplanes and so on are based on the same technology.

So we can undoubtedly conclude that automobile technology is a boon to mankind. Automobile technology is essential for travel and transportation. The very economic progress of a nation is dependent upon it. Man’s very life would become stagnant and slow down without it.
