Life was much different before the invention of airplanes. It could take 2 weeks to travel the distance an airplane could travel in two hours. If you wanted to travel from a America to Europe you would have to take a boat, and it could take up to a month to get from one place to the other. It was much more expensive to export goods, so while there was still lots of trade, it was much less than today. Lastly, jet lag was call boat lag :). hope this helps

How far back though? A modern airliner cruises at about 400mph so an 800-mile trip takes about 2 hours (neglecting manoeuvering time before landing). Assuming this to be between two cities on one continent, the railways had already cut the same journey time from that possible month to under a day. (Express passenger services hauled by steam locomotives averaged about 60mph - though fog or snow could cause serious delays.)
Steam-ships could cross the Atlantic in under 2 weeks, but that is port-to-port time. You still had to travel overland to and from the ports. No-one suffered from "boat lag" in reality of course, because the trip was slow enough for the body to adjust.
As for goods, most is now carried by road, rail and sea; facilitated by standard shipping containers. There is a lot of air-freight but that's not cheap. If anything exporting and importing goods is a lot cheaper, relatively, nowadays.

What was life like before the invention of the printing press?
Before the invention of the printing press, life was characterized by limited access to information and knowledge. Books were rare and expensive, handwritten by scribes. This made learning and education accessible only to the wealthy and elite. The spread of ideas was slow and restricted, as information had to be copied by hand. The printing press revolutionized communication by making books more affordable and widely available, leading to an increase in literacy and the dissemination of knowledge to a broader audience.
