Something that I remind myself of, often, (assuming it is true) is that airplanes were invented prior to putting wheels on baggage.

- sammalloy 4y agoIt’s true. I don’t think popular, consumer grade luggage for the middle class had wheels until the 1970s. And if you watch for these kind of details in popular culture, I don’t think you even see wheeled baggage in the movies until the early 1980s. I couldn’t tell you the reason, but I think this was one of those status, income and class things: "I can afford to have someone carry my bags around."
