The wheel is an example of technology that was developed for one purpose and then adapted for many other purposes. a. true b. false

This statement is true. The original wheels were not actually used for transportation as they are today, but rather there is actually evidence they were created in Mespotamia in around 3500 B.C. to be used for creating pottery. The wheel in its current form was not actually invented until some 300 years later when they began to be used as part of chariots.
