Automobiles
Interesting post about the various new inventions that emerged during the 1920s. Adding on to your point about how the invention of the car allowed for people to travel farther places, this helps to demonstrate a way of how people were becoming more independent; with a car, they could "escape" out of normal lives and see more of the world. Also, the improved technologies, such as more electricity supply and access, not only advanced the lives of people, but also made common tasks, such as washing dishes (using dishwasher instead of washing by hand), less laborious and more efficient.
