This analogy doesn't really work because there are thousands of different wheels that all spin on an axis but are used for many different things. If the wheel was never reinvented or improved upon we wouldn't have automatic transmissions, rocket engine turbo pumps, gyroscopes, etc.

Bingo. We'd still have wooden cart wheels instead of rubber tires. And no trains, either. And no airplanes. Etc.
