Some people think that airplanes have made a bigger impact on our society than cars. However, in my opinion, cars have made a greater impact on society than airplanes. Because cars are more convenient way to travel since those provide door to door service, and also they brought bigger impact on our economy. To begin with, cars can give us a “door to door service”. When we move from one place to another, using our own cars can be the most convenient way to move, because they can bring us directly to our destination. However, as the airport usually located sparsely, several trasfering of the means are required to get on the airplane. Let me introduce my experience as an example. One day, I was supposed to go to the Incheon international airport with my family members. I departed from Daejeon which was central area of South Korea. And I searched the best way to go there but the only option was to transfer the transportion at least three times. At last I took the taxi to the bus terminal, and transfered to the bus and then finally got on the subway with my little two kids and luggages. It was very long and tough travel and all of us regretted that not using our own car. Moreover, cars were the most powerful means to grow our economy since 1970s. The car industry has various interacted small industries such as manufacturing, servicing, selling vehicles and constructing and maintenancing the roads. The number of cars in South Korea was only 100,000 in 1970, however, it is more than 20,000,000 now. In addtion, cars are one of the biggest item to export to other nations. As our nation's economy is dependant on the exportation, car industry braught great and positive impact on our economy. In contrary, airplane industry is comparatively small than car's, so the economical effect of airplane was not that big. To sum up, cars are more convenient way of transportation due to its door to door service. Also cars induced our nation's economical growth since their various relavent industries. In this regard, I think cars have made a bigger impact on our society than airplanes. |
