The Invention and Development of the Wheel.
These inventions have ranged from the beginning of time with the wheel through Thomas Edison’s invention of the light bulb, which had been used for years to keep houses lit. Possibly one of the greatest inventions in history that is still used today is the internet, which has made significant changes to how the day to day business is conducted.
We spin the wheel and talk about whatever comes up! Join Paul Alves, James Goots, Craig Damlo and special guests as they talk about whatever topics our wheel lands on. All stories submitted here will be considered for a spot on our wheel (which is actually randomly spun during our show!) and if the wheel stops on your submission, our hosts will have to talk about the subject for a minimum of 5.

In terms of the lives of average people there is little doubt that the automobile is. the most revolutionary invention in the history of transportation since the wheel. itself. The basic idea is simple, choose a wheeled vehicle from the many types typically. pulled by horses or oxen, add a motor.
The wheel is such a perfect invention that it inspired the adage “Don’t reinvent the wheel,” meant to discourage any attempt to improve something that doesn’t need to be improved. But software engineer David Patrick, seems to be up for that challenge.
Although the ancient world didn’t have all the resources that we have today, the people of those times did magnificent things that paved the road for us today; from the stone tools made in Paleolithic and Mesolithic times to the wheel in 3000 BC, all the. way to the pyramids in 2560 BC. These inventions helped make it possible for us to build smartphones, remote controls, and skyscrapers.
The wheel is perhaps man’s greatest invention. Simple as it seems, it is the very basis of movement. The cart, the cycle, the motor-car and the railway train move on wheels. Even aircraft which fly thousands of kilometres through the air need wheels for taking-off and landing.
