Umqondo wokuklama wamagxolo esihlahla uwukuncoma kwemvelo, lokhu kuthungwa okwethulwa kule phakheji kunomphumela omuhle wokuhlobisa.Isikhathi singalandelelwa emasongweni onyaka, unyaka ngemva komunye, futhi ukushintshaniswa kwezinkathi zonyaka ezine, intwasahlobo, ihlobo, ikwindla, nobusika, ku-loop, kulandela indlela yesikhathi.Lolu shintsho luvezwa emfanekisweni owodwa futhi imibala emine isetshenziselwa ukuhlukanisa izinkathi zonyaka ukuze isithombe sonke sibe munye futhi sihlanganiswe.Ihambisana nezinkathi ezine ezahlukene, inika abantu izinzwa ezine zokuhogela.Amakhandlela amane ahlukene anephunga ambondelane.Ngemva kokuba ikhandlela elingenhla lifile, ikhandlela elingezansi lingakhishwa ukuze kubuyiselwe elingaphezulu.

Amakhandlela anephunga manje angenye yezinto ezikhangayo zasekhaya;kusukela ekuvoteni kwesabelomali kuya ezintweni eziwubukhazikhazi, banesidingo sokuzinakekela esithandwa yibo bonke.Amakhandlela anephunga elimnandi abelokhu ezungeze cishe isikhathi eside njengamakhandlela ngokwawo, asetshenziswe kusukela ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka BC.Amakhandlela ayeyisidingo ngaphambi kwezinsuku zokukhanyisa ngogesi, kodwa amaningi ayenziwe ngamafutha ezilwane ezihlukahlukene, kuhlanganise nezinkomo, izimvu, imikhomo ngisho nezingwejeje, ezazikhipha iphunga elibi.Kwadalwa izixazululo eziningana zokulwa nephunga elibi, kuhlanganise nokwengeza izinti zempepho kungcina kanye nengcina eyenziwe ngesinamoni ebilisiwe.E-China, amakha amaningana ahlukene empepho ayebekwe ngaphakathi emakhandleleni nokushintsha kwephunga okubonisa ihora elisha.Isimo sempilo yansuku zonke izinkulungwane zeminyaka, amakhandlela acishe aphelelwa yisikhathi kulandela ukusungulwa kwezibani zegesi nekaphalafini futhi kamuva nezikagesi. Isibani esikhanyayo ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye.Kwaze kwaba ngawo-1980 lapho ukuthandwa kwamakhandlela kwaqala ukuvuka futhi aqala ukuguqukela kumakhandlela esiwaziyo nesiwathandayo namuhla.
