Answer:

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Necessity is the mother of invention is a popular proverb. The proverb means that when put in a difficult situation, one is likely to think and be inspired to create a novel or ingenious solution. Plato is often wrongly credited with this phrase. This saying appears in the dialogue Republic, by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. However, the proverb was well known before it appeared in translations of his works.

This proverb means that the primary driving force for most new inventions is a need. When faced with a necessity, one is likely to be inspired to create a novel or ingenious solution. For instance, the necessity to move bigger, heavier and larger quantities of goods and the need to travel longer distances lead to the invention of wheels which evolved into motor vehicles and trains. We now have ships to sail across vast oceans and planes to fly long distances in a much shorter time never imagined before. History has proved that great inventions have always been made in emergency situations. When a grave necessity arises, man has always come up with a new invention to manage the situation. A need or problem encourages creative efforts to meet the need or solve the problem. The fable of the clever crow is a story that appropriately illustrates that necessity is the mother of invention.

The crow was thirsty and searching for water found a pitcher of water. But he couldn't reach the little amount of water at the bottom. Be saw some pebbles and started picking the pebbles and dropping them into the pitcher. Gradually the water level rose to the point where his beak could reach. The crow drank the cool water from the pitcher and flew away crowing happily. His wisdom saved him from dying of thirst.

When a necessity cannot be attained by existing means, we are naturally compelled to use our mental faculty and find ways to meet our needs. So a need or problem leads to creative efforts to solve the problem. Necessity is indeed the main force behind every new invention and discovery.
