What is a common benefit of writing and the wheel?

A common benefit of both writing and the wheel is that they dramatically increased efficiency and the ability to scale operations.

The wheel allowed for much faster and more efficient transportation of goods and people, leading to larger-scale trade and agriculture. Writing allowed for the efficient transmission and storage of information, leading to more complex societal structures, improved record-keeping for trade and governance, and the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge. Both enabled societies to grow beyond very limited sizes and complexities.
