Evolution of Communication and Transport

The document summarizes objects from the past and present that have evolved over time to improve functionality. It describes a telephone, chariot, and charcoal iron from the past and compares them to a cellphone, automobile, and steam iron of today. The telephone allowed for voice calls but required removing from a cradle and dialing manually, while cellphones can make calls with a touch anywhere. Chariots were open carts pulled by horses, whereas automobiles are enclosed, fuel-powered vehicles. Charcoal irons heated over coals to iron fabrics, but steam irons use heated water for easier pressing.
