FOUR WHEELS GOOD
The advancement of the car industry appears in sync with the expansion of modern capitalism.
Despite its origin in Europe, the industry grew its wings and flourished in the US. There Henry ford
brought manufacturing numbers of the car industry to a mass level, by transitioning production from
the Chicago meat industry to the development of motors. In the 1920s, General Motors formed its
monopoly in the car industry, catalyzed by Alfred Sloan's management theories. In the aftermath
of WWII, owners in the car industry fixated all their attention on the makeover of the vehicles,
with the aim to incentivize regular model changes. From the year onwards to the 1970s, car
companies were the sole subject of discussion for critics due to their inefficient use of fuel.
Simultaneously, trade organizations became even more defensive of the employment status of
their colleagues. Currently, the car industry holds the ownership of the most renowned brands
globally. However, the burgeoning competition and saturation in the industry has made many
manufacturers vulnerable.
THE PAST BELOW THE WAVES
It is believed that, for thousands of years, storms and accidents associated with sea trade have
contributed to creating more than three million wreckages of ships on the sea bed. These remains
present marine archeologists with the opportunity to obtain significant knowledge about the
culture, technology, and trade practices of earliest societies. The progress in exploring the
remnants of destroyed ships by scuba divers is only limited to 50 meters, near the coast, where
storms or plant growth frequently ruin it. The inspection of the ship remains, deep into the sea, by
manned submarines is too costly, except for renowned ships, such as the Titanic. However, the
development of a new class of submarines, the automatic underwater vehicle (AUV), has solved
this predicament. Currently, a group of American Archeologists has scheduled to inspect a part of
the sea north of Egypt, a significant waterway to a major trading port 4,000 years ago.
