Wheels are fundamentally the same, mechanically.

How they're made changes, and what they're made of changes, but they are fundamentally the same mechanically for how they function

    I would argue that Wi-Fi is also fundamentally the same as it was invented, it's just network packets sent over high-frequency radio waves, but there has been a lot of changes in specifics. It's the same for wheels, while the fundamental principle is the same, the differences between a wheel 4000 years ago and today are staggering.
