In the past, flying carpets and wind-fire wheels only appeared in myths or people’s dreams. Nowadays, many travel tools better than them have become reality. Large passenger planes fly over our heads. Within one day, they can carry people to nearly any corner of the earth. So, if you send your selfies in five different countries in three days, don’t expect anyone in your friend circle to feel surprised. Similarly, if a friend sends you a photo of himself riding on a single wheel self-balance car, you won’t find it too cool. Maybe you’ll just warn him, “Hey, obey the traffic rules!” That’s why nowadays “being on wheels” no longer just means “riding a car”. In cities all over the world, new transportation tools give a unique view: for example, the shared bicycles, both convenient and energy-saving. Of course, you may say, “Is that new? Shared electric scooters are common now!” Yes, even skateboards that only appeared in playgrounds seem to have become a travel tool for some college students. Sometimes they turn around like a lone ranger in crowds. And often, they may have a big fall when they are most proud of their skills.Yes, these new generation tools have pros and cons. But they are the results of human efforts to realize their dreams. (4)As long as good rules could regulate the production and use of them, we can enjoy more interesting ways of transportation.
