Ships, boats and really huge helicopters would be the mode of transportation! Maybe everyone would have their own mini helicopter lol

We would not have cars...because a car cannot move without tires. Um.... that's all I can think of right now!

From an architectural point of view eventually someone would have come up with the wheel, probably within a few years of the original creation. Imagine how houses are built for a moment. No brick in California because of earth quakes. If one person hadn't realized that another person would have come up with the same concept. Think of human knowledge as a building with layers added yearly. We stand on the shoulders of giants. Eventually someone would have added that layer.

We would probably be about 10% of what the world population is now. The industrial revolution would never have taken place, but great societies have existed without it.

I think ball bearings or large round spheres would take the place.

We would have to walk, we couldn't farm, we couldn't use gears for electronics or things that moved, and we would have to push everything around not easily.

Please help!!

There would be virtually no way to transport large materials for building stuff and there would really be no way to get energy or create motors because they all rely on wheels. So basically there would be no modern society.

nothing would of happened until it was invented, so if it wasn't invented at the time it was, it would of been invented sooner or later and we would be back in time accordingly with technology.

well instead of "the wheels on the bus go round and round",

it would be like "the blocks on the rock dont even move"!!!

think about it!

PEACE! =D

For starters, forget travelling any faster than a horse can. But the plains Indians, not so very long ago, had no wheels. They used a dragging device called a travois which could be used for transportation. Oxen could still draw ploughs. Life went on. Whether it was worth living without CDs and merry-go-rounds is a moot point, but it did go on.
