Backround Analytical

The automobile industry has been for the last 100 years one of the fastest growing and most prominent industries in the world. It has evolved from the horse and buggy to the ferrari's and porche's of our time and continues to grow and develop. The automobile has helped develop our world in hundreds of ways. The transportation revolution of the 20th century was loaded with inventions and technological advancements. The was first introduced in the 1800’s and has come so far in barely over 100 years. Its uncomprehendable to think that our society transformed from a horse and buggy and railway based transportation system to the automobile system we now have. The auto industry has continued to eveolve late into the 20th century and beyond with the inventions of the electric cars and more and more ways of making this industry more affordable and green. Our society has grown to revolve around transportation and in the lifes of Americans now is a neccesity. American's lives are based off of flexibility, availability, and readiness. The automobile industry has provided these essentials and has continued to become more affordable.The car has become so essential because of how it has impacted the working people. Before the time of the automobile people needed to live in the city in order to work in the city, a horse and buggy couldn't transport them everyday back and forth from work. People would have to live in the city in order to work at their jobs without an extremely expensive travel every day. However, with the invention of the car people were able to live outside of the city and still maintain the same jobs they held in the city. The car therefore helped people to take their family outside of the city into a more preferable enviroment for a family. Parents were then able to raise their kids outside the city and all the action in their own private home enviroment. It gave families a bigger sense of protection being able to live outside of the big city and on their own. In this way the impact the auto industry has had on our world can’t be overstated.
