Aircraft Technology!

An article in the newspaper I quickly glanced at the other day had the story was this new invention called the aircraft. The men of the names Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright (they are brothers) got the first craft to travel. I believe it lasted 12 seconds and went 120 feet. After more attempts they made they got the aircraft to travel even farther. This seems like a mind blowing technology that I never could have imagined was possible. I bet this invention will increase communication significantly, and even transportation because air travel would be faster than any other transportation. I am very impressed that they actually got something to fly up in the air. Will this technology soar and become extremely important? I guess we will just have to see.
