One way for children to get an understanding of the differences between the past and the present is to look at travel. From traveling by foot to the latest super cars, the way we travel has changed a lot. Advances in technology have helped us arrive faster and in comfort and have also made international travel affordable for most people. When they have an understanding of how our ancestors had to get around, young people may appreciate modern transport a little bit more!
