It is hard to imagine the world without the inventions and innovations of the previous generations. Every century had produced its own crop of inventions, slowly shaping the world we know today. Getting back to the very earliest discoveries, the Mesopotamians and the ancient civilization have impacted the lives of people around the world both making them more powerful and comfortable. Three of the most important inventions during this era were the wheel, irrigation and the writing. Firstly, the wheel represented a giant leap forward for humankind and transformed people's lives that lived during that century. The wheel restructured transport, opened up communications, trade and helped exchange ideas between cultures making it easier for them to live. For example, it made trips faster and easier for traders, it carried heavy cartons on chariots and therefore it was used to make sledges and rafts. The first ever wheel was used for pottery and thus the potter's wheel was used to throw pots on carts to transport both people and goods. The wheel was made of simple pieces of wood joined together, when they connected it to the vehicle called the chariot. During these processes the humans realized that heavy objects could be moved easier and made them travel lightly. Secondly, the Mesopotamians introduced the first irrigation systems, which controlled and lowered the water levels in the canals so the water could be used by the farmers. Farmers in the ancient Mesopotamia grew crops on lands, which grew within limited supply of rainfall and water. This was introduced when t Eventually, a lot of crops grew and the farmers then started raising grains, fruits and vegetables that made it quick and easy for them to eat. The invention of the irrigation methods provided balanced food supply and helped them with trading opportunities. It increased their knowledge about the markets and developed their businesses connecting to form a long term partnership.
