I'm trying to imagine something more revolutionary than the automobile, and I'm having trouble! Barring the legal/political hurdles, I could theoretically drive from my home in Texas to Alaska, then cross to Russia, and on to Paris in around 250~ driving hours. Throw in another day or two for a private boat across the Bering Strait/North Pacific. 9 days to basically drive around the entire world. 15000 miles. Just for giggles, my 2012 Honda CRV will get around 350-400 miles per tank of gas. We'll drive conservatively at 60 mph to hit the full range. Depending on the cost of gasoline, I could drive around the entire world for about $1200. Maybe $1500 once I get into Europe. Insane! Before cars, that same journey would take months moving non stop. A solo trip can now be done in about 2 weeks with an experienced driver. Absolutely insane the cool stuff we can do with modern technology :)
