Crap!

John A. Roebling is best known as the designer and civil engineer of the Brooklyn bridge. Completed in 1883, It took ten years to build this innovative and greatly appreciated linking system . For many years the Brooklyn Bridge was known as the longest structure in the world stretching to 1,595 feet long. This bridge connects Manhattan to Brooklyn making it easier for transporting things as well as for people to travel.


What would life be like before the advancements in transportation in the late 1800s/early 1900s? What effects did such technological breakthroughs have on individuals in their local and larger worlds?
Life would be different without the advanced transportation in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. The people in certain regions would be deprived of economical needs before the advancements in transportation was very slow moving and time consuming. It took well over weeks to transport people and supplies across the United States. They traveled via ferries and horse-drawn carriages. (The effect that this lack of technology would have on individuals locally is ???????? <-----Khadija i need help here.) The effect that this lack of technology would have on individuals in a larger world is that they will not learn of other cultures and societies. They would not be able to share their knowledge with other parts of the world as well as vice versa.


My adjective is innovative. I choose innovative to describe the rise of transportation during the late 1800s/early 1900s because it was something new, creative, and original to improve the shipping of goods.
