Emphilweni yethu kunezinto eziningi esizisebenzisayo ukungazi. Futhi enye yalezi zinto ukukhanya komgwaqo. Kubonakala sengathi isilawuli sezimoto, imibala emithathu, ukulawula okuzenzakalelayo, okungaba lula futhi ngaphezulu kokuthoma? Hhayi, cha! Lezi "zamehlo ezintathu" ezijwayele amehlo ethu kanye nesigqi sokuphila sidlulile umlando wonke wekhulu lekhulu leminyaka yentuthuko nokubunjwa kwawo.
Usuku lokuzalwa lomzila wethrafikhi
U-Agasti 5 ubeka usuku lwamazwe omgwaqo. Kulolu suku luka-1914 olubhekwa ngokuthi "usuku lokuzalwa" olusemthethweni lwedivayisi. Usebenze lokhu kokufakwa komqondisi wokuqala wezwe womlawuli wezanamuhla: amadivaysi aphikisayo amabili wezwi edolobheni laseCleveland. Lo "ugogo" wezitshalo zamanje zethrafikhi zinezibani ezibomvu neziluhlaza, futhi wakhipha isignali ende uma eshintsha phakathi kwabo.
Noma kunjalo, njengoba kwenzeka njalo emlandweni, usuku olusemthethweni aluhambisani nosuku lwangempela. Ngakho-ke, ngempela isibonelo sokuqala sokukhanya komgwaqo emhlabeni sakhiwe ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye nguJay Knight. Ukwakhiwa kwalezi zixhobo zamanje kwakungakaze kusondele isakhiwo samaPhalamende eLondon ngo-1868. Kodwa ukukhanya komgwaqo akuzange kuhlale isikhathi eside: emva kweminyaka emithathu kuphela iphoyisa elisemsebenzini lilimazwe ukuqhuma kwesibani. Ukukhwabanisa kwaqhamuka, futhi idivaysi yangcwatshwa isikhathi esingangeminyaka engamashumi amahlanu.
Ukuzalwa okusha kwezibani zethrafikhi kwamukelwa kuphela ngo-1910, lapho imodeli emibala emibili yayinegunya lobunikazi. Ama-tricolor amadivaysi afanayo - ama-prototypes asondelene kakhulu anamuhla - aboniswa kuqala emigwaqweni yaseNew York naseDetroit emazweni angama-jazz ahluphekile. Futhi emva nje kokuhlola esenzweni, la madivayisi asuke evele avela emigwaqweni yamadolobha aseMelika naseYurophu. Ngokuqondene namazwe aseSoviet, lapha ukugubha kwezibani zethrafikhi kubonakala kuphela eminyakeni yesithathu yeminyaka yekhulu lama-20, kanye
Ngakho-ke, ukukhanya kwethrafikhi, naphezu kokubonakala kwayo kube lula, kunomlando omude futhi oyinkimbinkimbi wokuba, uma usuphile, uye waba yingxenye engenakuhlukaniswa empilweni yethu, ukuchuma nokuphepha. Kungenxa yalokhu ekhalendeni lezinsuku ezingakhohlwayo wabekwa usuku olukhethekile (Agasti 5), futhi emadolobheni amaningi emhlabeni wabeka izikhumbuzo nezifanekiso.
